Agriculture drives it: Monterey County is California's 4th-highest agricultural-producing county, with 2024 crop and livestock value of nearly $5 billion — the Salinas Valley alone supplies an estimated 61% of U.S. leaf lettuce and 57% of U.S. celery. That scale sits alongside an unusual concentration of federal institutions for a rural county: the Naval Postgraduate School and the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, and CSU Monterey Bay. Hospital systems Salinas Valley Health and Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula round out the county's largest employers outside of agriculture.
