Private Sector Employers

Private sector employers are businesses and organizations not owned or operated by the government. They can range from small local shops to large multinational corporations. These employers seek to make a profit by providing goods or services to consumers. Unlike public sector employers, which serve the community and are funded by taxpayer money, private sector businesses rely on sales and market performance. Employees in the private sector typically work for a salary or wages and may receive benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans, depending on the employer's policies.
