As the economic centre of Southeastern Manitoba, service/retail industries employ the majority of the working population.
 Large manufacturing plants, especially those operated by Barkman, Bausch and Loewen Windows (which is also headquartered in Steinbach), create a significant number of jobs.
Since the 1950s, Steinbach has been known as a centre for automobile sales, marketing itself as the "Automobile City".
Steinbach has a diversity of jobs and industries within the community.
Its rapid growth rate, combined with the lowest taxes in the province by mill rate, has made the community an increasingly popular place for both workers and employers.
This combination has helped many different mid-sized and large-sized businesses in manufacturing, transportation, agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, retail, and financial services such as the Steinbach Credit Union, to grow with the city.
As a result, the city of Steinbach now has the third-highest assessment value among cities in the province, trailing only Brandon and Winnipeg.

Agriculture, the traditional industry in the region, continues to play a significant role in Steinbach's economy as well.
The agricultural industry in the area is notable for many of the large commercial pig, and poultry farming operations.
Aside from intensive pig and chicken barns there are numerous small, family, dairy farms that dot the area.
Crops grown on the fertile farmland surrounding Steinbach primarily include canola, corn, alfalfa, as well as barley, soybeans, oats, and wheat.
