Business

Agriculture, fishing and oil related industries are prominent in Aberdeenshire, although the service sector now accounts for 54% of employment in the area and is the fastest growing industry in the region.

Many residents commute to Aberdeen for work, where the average earnings are slightly higher. The quality of life outside the city continually attracts those looking for a more rural setting in which to live and spend their leisure time.
