Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In LaSalle, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the Ontario average:
| Industry (NAICS) | LaSalle | ON |

Compared with the province, LaSalle is unusually concentrated in manufacturing (18.8% of jobs versus 9.1% provincially). Local suppliers, trades and service firms often ride the same cycle. Health care runs above average too, at 1.3 times the provincial weight.
Plant work is booked months ahead and settles on 30 to 60-day terms. Suppliers to the plants feel the same lag. Snow season helps LaSalle clearing and indoor trades but slows patios and landscaping.
Explain a predictable dip when you apply rather than letting the numbers speak alone.
A food processor in LaSalle with about $120,000 in monthly deposits takes $96,000 to buy materials for booked jobs at a 1.30 factor rate, for a total payback of $124,800 over about 9 months. That works out to roughly $3,202 a week, or about 12% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $28,800 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
