Note: An establishment is a single physical location, such as an individual store or restaurant. An employer may have any number of establishments at different locations. Firms which do not have employees covered by unemployment compensation are not included. Firms are sized according to their employment in West Virginia. This means that a firm with many thousands of employees nationwide, but only a few salespeople in West Virginia, is counted as a very small firm.
