Economy and Employment
The Clare & Gilbert Valleys is one of the premium agricultural districts within South Australia blessed with consistent and high rainfall compared to other regions. This creates a lush, agrarian landscape within the District’s rainy season.
The main industry within the region is agriculture, particularly grape and wine production, cropping and livestock. Although it is the main industry, agriculture provides less than 1 in 5 jobs within the district. Health care and social assistance, construction, manufacturing, retail trade, accommodation and food services and education and training are also strong employers providing a variety of job opportunities.
Clare is the main service centre for the Mid North. Therefore the town enjoys a higher level of employment in higher skilled professions than other regional areas.
