Below is a listing of the number of different businesses found within the town of Mir and the surrounding area. It might help to picture the town as it was in 1930, with some factories and mills, as well as small shops and market stalls. People in the surrounding communities and farms came to town on market days to buy manufactured goods, imported foods and livestock. Farmers could sell animals and locally produced foods.

This listing gives no indication of how many people were employed at various occupations, nor how many of family members were involved. There is no indication if the owner had a shop, a stall at the market square, or worked out of his home. This list does not reflect other local occupations, the number of people who were teachers or advanced students in the Yeshiva, whose payments for room and board provided a major source of income to local residents.
