How do people in the Hannahville Indian Community earn a living? Recent data counts 181 employed residents age 16 and older. Here’s where they work:
| Industry | Workers | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Arts, entertainment, recreation, lodging and food | 52 | 29% |
| Public administration | 30 | 17% |
| Manufacturing | 22 | 12% |
| Retail trade | 17 | 9% |
| Construction | 16 | 9% |
| Education and health care | 16 | 9% |
| Professional and management services | 9 | 5% |
| Other services | 9 | 5% |
| Transportation and warehousing | 6 | 3% |
| Wholesale trade | 3 | 2% |
| Information; Finance and real estate | 0 | 0% |
What stands out
- Nearly half of us work in two areas. Hospitality and entertainment, much of it likely tied to gaming, plus tribal and public government make up 46% of local jobs. That’s a strength, but it also means our economy leans on a few employers.
- Some fields are empty. No residents reported working in information (media, tech, telecom) or in finance, insurance and real estate.
- Small business is thin. Professional services, wholesale and transportation together are only about 10% of jobs.
Why it matters for entrepreneurs
Empty fields are open doors. Bookkeeping, insurance, digital marketing, web design, transport and delivery are services our community uses but mostly buys from outside. Every dollar kept local stays working for Hannahville.
