The majority of Newburgh's workforce is employed in the manufacturing sector. Metal manufacturing like aluminum processing, production, aluminum sheet, plate production, and foil manufacturing are the main jobs within the city limits. Although manufacturing is the primary employment sector, tourism is becoming increasingly popular thanks to Newburgh Park and its satellite businesses.

There is no chamber of commerce for Newburgh, and there doesn't seem to be a concentrated effort to increase the city's economic infrastructure. Once a busy trading post along the Ohio River, this town is becoming increasingly quiet as businesses and companies outsource, relocate, or close down. This loss of industry hasn't affected income levels substantially, since nearby Evansville provides numerous opportunities for commuters. As more white-collar jobs begin surfacing in and around the Evansville metro area, it is quite possible that Newburgh will switch over entirely from manufacturing and focus on areas such as research, technology, and health care.
