Sa halip, ang sektor ng serbisyo o ang mga nasa pangangalakal at iba pang serbisyo ang may pinakamalaking bahagi ng pinagsamang kabuuang kita na 86.13 percent. Samantala, humigit-kumulang 13.07 percent ang ambag ng grupong industriya, partikular ang konstruksyon at pagproseso ng pagkain, at ang natitirang 0.80 percent ay bahagi ng pangunahing sektor o agrikultura.
