ZIP codes with a Florence mailing address had 427 business locations in 2023, with about 4,263 people on payroll in the March pay period.
OregonSaves applies from the first employee, so each of those 427 locations belongs to an employer that, if it is a business that meets the state's other conditions (such as time in business), needs either its own retirement plan or the state program.
The most common types of business in these ZIP codes are retail trade (69 locations), accommodation and food services (69 locations) and construction (66 locations). Across Lane County, the largest industry by employment is health care and social assistance (25,817 jobs), and private leisure and hospitality employment ran from 16,367 in January 2024 to 18,037 in June 2024.
77 of the 427 business locations in Florence's ZIP codes are in accommodation and food services or arts, entertainment and recreation, the leisure and hospitality industries where staffing levels tend to change with the season. Oregon counts employees under OAR 170-080-0010. The rule reads: “one or more individuals in an Employment in each of 18 separate weeks during any calendar year, or payroll ≥$1,000 in any quarter”.
