Work

Estill County is a great place to work!  We have a tight-knit group of small businesses who provide goods and services to our community. The local school district and local governments are major employers, as are the institutions of our healthcare system, e.g. Marcum & Wallace Memorial Hospital, Irving Nursing & Rehabilitation, and the numerous clinics and other health providers.  From a more industrial perspective, Irvine has been a proud partner with Carhartt since the 1930s, and they are our largest private employer with a production plant and an administrative facility both located here.  We also have numerous wood processing and resource extraction facilities.  Our community does its best to connect prospective and existing businesses with resources they may need.  Please browse the links below to learn more about working and running a business in Estill County!
