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

What stands out is farming, forestry and fishing: 8.5% of local workers, about 5.8 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 12.3%.
Seeding and harvest bookend the year. Local suppliers often carry farm customers between the two. Expect a Stirling-Rawdon winter slowdown in construction and a post-holiday dip in spending.
Time a request before the busy season, not in the middle of the slow one.
