Aciria is a well-developed mixed economy.

According to the 2018 report, 58% of the population is employed in the service industry, followed by 27% in the industrial sector and the remaining 15% in the primary sector. Despite the well-developed economy, many Aciriens live near or below the poverty line, employed by both the industrial and primary sector. | ||
===Primary sector=== | |||
Majority of those working in the primary sector are employed in one way or another by agriculture. Due to the vast flatlands and fertile soil in Pâtnoir, many people chose to stay in the countryside and tend to the crops even after the 19th century industrial reforms made cities a more desirable location of living. Partially this was caused by majority of the farms owned by single families for centuries, amassing massive wealth. Typically the descendants of those working on these farms tend to stick to the profession of their parents, keeping a healthy rural population and an unusually large primary sector. | |||
The second largest employer is the mining industry located mainly in the southeastern Montagner region by the Grajnidarian border. The industry has caused mass migration of Aciriens to move to the Montagner region since 19th century after jobs and in the early 20th century, a gold rush. The largest resources excavated in the Acirien mines are gold, chromium, tin and iron. | |||
The fishing industry is located almost exclusively in the Aciries Marines region on the Griffe peninsula, with small fishing companies over time being bought out into larger conglomerates, such as Nutripois. The fish populations have been waning for decades, causing activists to campaign for the government to intervene in the large scale fishing operations off the Acirien coast for the sake of biodiversity. | |||
===Industrial sector=== | |||
Acirien industry has slowly waned as the population moved away from factories to service jobs in the second half of the 20th century. As a result of this, many domestic companies went bankrupt and were either bought out by other domestic companies, birthing conglomerates like Voielle, buying out both Auto Impériale and AcirAir's manufacturing wing. Because of these mergers, Voielle employs thousands of Aciriens in the manufacturing industry, creating cars, airplanes and telecommunications. Other major Acirien industrial sectors are pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Minor oil deposits off the coast of Aciries Marines in the 1980s has also caused a small oil industry to pop up in the region. | |||
