Aberdeen is the hub of a large regional trade area which creates a growing business climate. It also provides a reliable market for businesses. Aberdeen serves as the headquarters and as a launching site for many regional and national businesses. This unique and noteworthy community characteristic is evidenced by successful companies in renewable energy, value-added agriculture, hotel/lodging, healthcare, financial services, banking, construction, and manufacturing industries.

Industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and the trades are what has built Aberdeen, South Dakota into the thriving community we are today. We are proud of our small city with big opportunities that you will enjoy calling home.

As many communities boast, we also have a diverse pool of businesses that offer great career opportunities. With a strong agriculture community, many offshoots from that industry branch out creating more industry. We also thrive in other areas because we serve as a regional hub for surrounding communities.

There are currently over a thousand manufacturing establishments in the state and this sector continues to grow.

South Dakota has one of the strongest economies and job markets in the nation. South Dakota was the first state to bounce back from the COVID pandemic.
