¹ Two major employers chose not to participate in this survey. Each, however, reported 2010 job numbers on city business license forms: 573 for Walmart and 361 for Slane Hosiery Mills. It is not known where – or if – these companies would have ranked on this listing since their numbers are not necessarily "full time equivalent."
² In previous years, the numbers for High Point Regional Health System were for the hospital only. This year's numbers include a subsidiary that employs physicians.
