About this topic
Dated 2024 ACFR table view of principal employers listed for Escondido, with 2015 values shown only where the same City table provides them.
Overview
This page organizes the City of Escondido 2024 ACFR Principal Employers table. It is a dated finance-report view, not a live employer directory, hiring guide, or business-status report.
The order below follows the City table order. It is not presented here as an independent ranking or as a statement about current employment.
Local Context
This preview is based on the City of Escondido 2024 ACFR Principal Employers table. Treat values as a dated ACFR view, not a current employer directory. "Not listed" means the employer does not appear in that year column of the same ACFR table.
How To Read This Table
The first table answers one question: which employers appear in the City ACFR's 2024 principal employers table, and what comparison values does the same City table show for 2015? Start with the 2024 employee count. Use the 2015 columns only as a same-source comparison, not as proof of a current trend.

2015 Comparison-Only Entries
These entries appear in the 2015 comparison column but not in the primary table year.
How To Read This Table
This smaller table keeps 2015-only entries separate so they do not look like 2024 principal employers. It answers a narrower question: which employers appear only in the comparison column of the same City ACFR table?
| Source order | Employer | 2015 employees | 2015 share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Welk Group Inc | 1,200 | 1.76% |
| 12 | San Diego Wild Animal Park | 1,100 | 1.62% |
| 13 | Nordstrom Inc | 290 | 0.43% |
| 14 | Palomar Community College District | 211 | 0.31% |
