Among the largest workplaces in Barnesville are Barnesville Exempted Village Schools, Barnesville Hospital and Foundations Health Solutions.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Barnesville’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively low.
