Roughly one in five people employed in Scottsdale works in either health care or hospitality, and those industries accounted for half of the city's 10 largest employers in 2014, according to government data.

With the city's three major hospitals and a vast array of posh resorts, it's no surprise that Scottsdale's economy draws so heavily from the two sectors, accounting for nearly 30,000 jobs.

The city's largest employer, Scottsdale Lincoln Health Network, has more than 6,000 workers in Scottsdale, spread across three traditional hospitals, an urgent-care facility, a surgery hospital and doctors' offices.

The company, formerly Scottsdale Healthcare, maintains more than 800 hospital beds at Osborn Medical Center downtown, Shea Medical Center closer to the airpark and Thompson Peak Hospital north of Loop 101.
