In 2010, just 8 percent of employment was in that sector. Two other industries saw remarkable increases. Educational and health services employment rose from 9 percent of the county's total in 1990 to 14 percent in 2010. Professional and business services employment more than doubled -- from 4 percent to 9 percent -- over the 20-year period.
