Here Are Broomfield's Largest Employers

BROOMFIELD, CO – Who needs Amazon's HQ2 when other companies are already making their way to north-metro Denver, and specifically Broomfield?

Just to take stock of the national companies that have set up shop in Broomfield, Patch got a list from the Broomfield Economic Development office. Some of Colorado's largest employers have a significant presence in Broomfield, and some are headquartered here. Industries like telecommunications, IT, tourism, biotech, aerospace, healthcare and financial services are represented.

The largest employers? CenturyLink (Formerly Level 3 Communications) employs 2,360 people associated with the former Level 3 headquarters 1025 Eldorado Blvd. Oracle's Broomfield-based division employs 2,000 people.

That doesn't mean some businesses haven't left Broomfield.
