A snapshot of Rochester: the U/Rochester eclipsed Kodak as the area's largest employer in 2005. As of the end of 2013, the traditional Big Three employed 9,500, or just under 2 percent of the area workforce. Xerox, with roughly 6,300 local employees, is the area's fourth-largest employer. Kodak, with roughly 2,300 local workers as of the end of 2013, was barely in the top 15. B+L, with around 900, was 35th. - John Lam
