[[Wausau Homes Inc]] and [[Wausau Tile]] have their headquarters in Rothschild.

One of the larger employers in Rothschild is the [[Domtar]] Paper Mill. The mill was originally built between 1909 and 1910 by a group of local lumber barons. The mill produced its first reel of paper in 1910 and was incorporated under the name Marathon Paper Mills. At that time, the area that was to become Rothschild was still considered the Town of Weston. However, the company built and maintained several homes, a community hall, boarding house and general store. As the mill town grew around the paper mill, the area soon became incorporated as the village of Rothschild.

The paper mill has seen many upgrades over the years as well as changes in ownership. In the 1950s, the [[American Can Company]] purchased Marathon Corporation. In 1973, [[Weyerhaeuser]] purchased a large portion of the mill from American Can. Then again, in the 2000s, Domtar purchased the mill from Weyerhaeuser.

At its heyday in the early 1970s, the mill employed over 1,000 workers, operating four paper machines. Today, only one machine remains in operation.
