Major employers include Rosebud Sioux Tribe, [[Bureau of Indian Affairs]], and [[Todd County, South Dakota|Todd County]] School District. The RST owns and operates Rosebud Casino on [[U.S. Route 83]] just north of the Nebraska border. Nearby is a fuel plaza, featuring truck parking and a convenience store. Power for the casino is furnished in part by one of the nation's first tribally owned [[wind turbine]]s, which generate electricity (NOTE. The wind turbine that the Tribe decided to purchase was the last of an obsolete product line and almost never produced useable power. Parts are no longer available to repair it. Since it was erected, it has generated electricity for less than a year. Its turbine blades kill numerous hawks annually and it is too costly to take down the non-recyclable components and haul them off to a landfill where they will remain forever.) In the early 21st century, the tribe built a new residential development, [[Sicangu Village, South Dakota|Sicangu Village]], along Highway 83 near the casino and the state line.
The Tribe also owns QCredit, an online financial services company. The Tribe works with financial technology vendor [[Think Finance]] for assistance with compliance management, risk management, and loan services.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.qcredit.com/faq|title=Frequently Asked Questions {{!}} Q Credit|website=www.qcredit.com|access-date=2017-01-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170109113548/https://www.qcredit.com/faq|archive-date=2017-01-09|url-status=dead}}</ref>
