Archuleta County has been in transition from a traditional rural community to a more urban environment, with tourism and services business being the largest industries. Back In 1970, manufacturing (primarily wood products) provided 30% of Archuleta County's total work income and generated $7.4 million in earnings. Since that time, manufacturing wages have decreased, due primarily to the decline of the timber industry. Archuleta Economic Development is working hard to diversify our economy into more direct-based industries that provide primary jobs with higher salaries. We are focused on our vision of attracting and expanding Lone Eagles. Listed below are the current major employers in the county:
