Like most communities in west St. Louis County, Manchester has a typically "suburban" economic base, with retail trade and professional services being an especially large business sector. Major employers include such chain stores as Kohl's, [[Wal-Mart]], and Dierberg's, a St. Louis-based grocery chain. Other important economic sectors include education (especially Parkway Schools) and health care.
