A large share of the Kiravian {{wp|textile industry}} has become concentrated in Sarolasta, mainly on account of its much lower labour costs in comparison to other Kiravian regions. This industry is a major source of employment, particularly for {{wp|women}}. Most production is for the wider Kiravian market and dominated by {{wp|apparel}}, with a smaller share of finished textiles falling into the home goods and furnishings category. There are concerns that economic integration of [[Mid-Atrassic Crona]] could cause Sarolasta to lose its advantage as a Kiravian domestic textile producer. | |||
