Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In Chatsworth, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the Ontario average:
| Industry (NAICS) | Chatsworth | ON |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 16.1% | 12.0% |
| Construction | 13.6% | 7.5% |
| Retail trade | 10.5% | 11.1% |
| Manufacturing | 10.0% | 9.1% |
| Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting | 9.7% | 1.5% |
| Transportation and warehousing | 5.7% | 5.3% |
What stands out is farming, forestry and fishing: 9.7% of local workers, about 6.6 times the Ontario share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Construction is also above the provincial share, at 13.6%.
Farm calendars drive spending before seeding and revenue after harvest. Equipment dealers, input suppliers and haulers ride the same curve. Winter in Chatsworth raises heating costs and slows site work.

A fruit orchard and farm market in Chatsworth deposits about $31,000 a month, of which roughly $24,800 comes from card sales. It takes a $19,000 advance for a renovation before the busy season at a 1.30 factor rate, so the total to repay is $24,700. With a 8% holdback on card sales, about $1,984 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 12 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
