As a highly residential "bedroom community," Briarcliff Manor does not host the headquarters of major multinational corporations. Its local economy is sustained by small businesses, real estate, and regional services.
* **Major Local Employers**: The **Briarcliff Manor Union Free School District** and the **Village of Briarcliff Manor** municipality are among the largest local employers. * **Historic Companies**: The village was historically the site of **Briarcliff Farms**, once one of the largest and most successful dairy operations in the country, and the luxurious **Briarcliff Lodge**, though neither exists today.
