==Economy== [[File:Kalkovnene pΓ₯ Karljohansvern, Horten, Vestfold, Norway - panoramio.jpg|thumb|left|[[Karljohansvern]] was the [[Royal Norwegian Navy]]'s main base from 1819 to 1963]] Horten's employment sector is made up of [[Industrial sector|industry]] (21.7% as of 2014), health and social services (18.1%), education (12.1%), and commerce and auto-repair (12.7%). The [[Royal Norwegian Navy]] was traditionally an important industry, but the city experienced an economic change when the Navy moved its main base to [[Bergen]] during the mid-20th century and [[Horten Verft]] went bankrupt in 1987. Currently, one of the most important industries is electrical engineering, represented by companies such as ''[[Kongsberg Maritime]]'', ''Kongsberg Norcontrol'', ''Simrad Horten'', ''GE Vingmed Ultrasound'', and others.<ref name="snl" /> {| style="float: right; margin: 1em;" class="wikitable sortable" |+ Minorities (1st and 2nd generation) in Horten by country of origin in 2017<ref>{{Cite web |title=Immigrants and Norwegian-born to immigrant parents, by immigration category, country background and percentages of the population |url=https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=FolkInnvkatLand&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=innvbef&StatVariant=&checked=true |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150702101705/https://www.ssb.no/statistikkbanken/selectvarval/Define.asp?subjectcode=&ProductId=&MainTable=FolkInnvkatLand&nvl=&PLanguage=1&nyTmpVar=true&CMSSubjectArea=befolkning&KortNavnWeb=innvbef&StatVariant=&checked=true |archive-date=2 July 2015 |access-date=26 June 2017 |publisher=ssb.no |language=en}}</ref> |- !Ancestry!!Number |- | {{flag|Poland}}||408 |- | {{flag|Somalia}}||384 |- | {{flag|Bosnia-Herzegovina}}||341 |- | {{flag|Lithuania}}||323 |- | {{flag|Denmark}}||166 |- | {{flag|Sweden}}||149 |- | {{flag|Iraq}}||148 |- | {{flag|Philippines}}||134 |- | {{flag|Afghanistan}}||122 |- | {{flag|Iran}}||116 |- | {{flag|Russia}}||108 |- | {{flag|Germany}}||105 |}
