Top Employers

Manhattan’s economic character is affected largely by two institutions, Kansas State University and Fort Riley. There are also many workers that commute from surrounding areas to Manhattan for jobs. Although Manhattan has a low official unemployment rate, there is an abundant supply of above-average, trainable labor available. This is due in part to the students of Kansas State University and the dependents of Fort Riley, which are not counted in the official labor force statistics. Manhattan is also a regional hub that draws labor from a more than 60-mile radius. These factors contribute to a work ethic creating high productivity and a compatible labor climate.
