In attracting businesses to the region, economic development officials promote not just the resident population but those who are likely to be part of the job market. Almost half of Sarasota County’s population is in the prime working age range of 25 to 64, according to the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, meaning there is a labor force of 160,491. Adding the labor pool from bordering Manatee County expands the total to about 301,311.
