In terms of economic activities, Mangatarem is primarily driven by agriculture. The municipality has the biggest land area in the entire Pangasinan province. A big percentage of its households also have family members who are working or have migrated abroad.
The town's poblacion area continues to attract major food, retail, and service establishments from Metro Manila and nearby cities within the province of Pangasinan. Service establishments include banks, courier, pawnshops, auto/motorcycle service shops, These include Metrobank, Land Bank of the Philippines, and many others.
The town's public market serves not only the local residents but also the residents and farmers or entrepreneurs from the adjoining towns of Urbiztondo, Aguilar, and San Clemente, Tarlac, especially on weekends. This is one of the reasons that major commercial establishments started to take notice of the municipality and decided to set up their branches here.
