Ocean County as a whole had 15,020 employer establishments in 2023 and another 54,825 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Ocean County leans toward schools and training providers (300 establishments, 1.4 times the national share). For them, students and parents compare programs and costs, and the website should show programs, schedules, tuition or fees and how to enroll. 26.0% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance, and 14.7% in retail trade. For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.
