The largest employer is the municipality and the county council, where around 38% of the work force have its work place.

The largest private employer is the paper product company Holmen where about 10% of the work force work.

In the old history, the industry was dominated by fishing. In the 19th century the forest industry came to dominate, further enhanced by the improved transportations which the rail roads provided in the second half of that century. Although in decline during the 20th century, half of the municipal industry is still based around forest industry.

Employees per sectors:

1. Pulp, paper, and paper goods: 29%
2. Machine technical industry: 20%
3. Electronics 19%

5. Wood products 7%.

The electronics industry is dominated by Ericsson Network Technologies making optical and copper wires for telecommunication systems. (Sources: [1],Holmen.com)
