Companies today demand ready access to a workforce that is agile, abundant and diverse.
Located at the heart of a rapidly growing five county region, Okaloosa County is often viewed as the region's "jobs center."
The community's work force is supplemented by the spouses and dependents of the active duty military personnel and civilians, and the retired or separated military personnel from Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field. Retired or otherwise separated military veterans make up 1/3 of Okaloosa's population.
