| The
City is a major retail trade center for Southwest Kansas and the
Oklahoma Panhandle. Seward County ranks seventh in County Trade Pull
Factor (CTPF) out of one hundred and five counties in the state of
Kansas for the year 2007. Because of the proximity to the Hugoton Gas Fields, several major petroleum firms maintain offices and facilities in and around Liberal. These firms employ nearly 900 people, while other complimentary gas services provide jobs for hundreds more. Beef packing is the largest industry in the region. In the surrounding 100-mile area, there are four major cattle slaughter plants processing over 22,000 head of cattle per day. Liberal is home to National Beef Packing Co. which processes 6,000 head per day. |
