The majority of the population of Pak Chong district as well as Pak Chong town are employed in agriculture, with maize being the main produce, followed by cassava. Cattle rearing forms an important industry in the district, which is one of the country's top dairy producers, along with neighbouring Muak Lek. Several factories in diverse industries including sack-weaving, electronics, rock-crushing and livestock feed production serve as as a major source of employment.<ref>{{cite web |title=3.10 อําเภอปากช่อง |url=http://www.koratcf.or.th/pdf/distircts/26.%20%E0%B8%AD.%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%20p%20383-409.pdf |publisher=Local Information Center for Development Nakorn Ratchasima Province |access-date=8 February 2022 |pages=384, 395–398 |language=th}}</ref><ref>{{cite thesis|last1=Khemkaew |first1=Suchittra |title=Development guidelines for Pak Chong urban community, Nakhon Ratchasima province |type=master's thesis |isbn=974-13-0273-8 |url=http://cuir.car.chula.ac.th/handle/123456789/71305 |publisher=Chulalongkorn University |pages=39–40 |language=th |date=2000}}</ref>
 
Tourism is also a large contributor to the economy, with tourists coming to visit [[Khao Yai National Park]] as well as other attractions in the wider '''Khao Yai area''' to the south of the district. Agritourism draws visitors to major farms and vineyards, Khao Yai being one of Thailand's two wine-producing regions along with [[Hua Hin]]. Numerous resorts, golf clubs, cafés, art galleries and shopping centres are scattered throughout the area, many of which feature novelty European-themed architectural styles and cater to domestic tourists, mainly the Bangkok middle-class.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Poomsawai |first1=Chanun |title=A little bit of europe in isan |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/travel/327548/a-little-bit-of-europe-in-isan |access-date=12 May 2021 |work=Bangkok Post |date=23 December 2012}}</ref> Development of holiday properties is a major driver of real estate development in the Khao Yai area.<ref>{{cite web |title=รู้จักโคราชแบบเจาะลึก |url=https://www.ddproperty.com/areainsider/%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%8A/article/%25e0%25b8%25a3%25e0%25b8%25b9%25e0%25b9%2589%25e0%25b8%2588%25e0%25b8%25b1%25e0%25b8%2581%25e0%25b9%2582%25e0%25b8%2584%25e0%25b8%25a3%25e0%25b8%25b2%25e0%25b8%258a%25e0%25b9%2581%25e0%25b8%259a%25e0%25b8%259a%25e0%25b9%2580%25e0%25b8%2588%25e0%25b8%25b2%25e0%25b8%25b0%25e0%25b8%25a5%25e0%25b8%25b6%25e0%25b8%2581-10133 |website=DDproperty |publisher=All Property Media |access-date=8 February 2022 |language=th |date=4 July 2020}}</ref>
