East Fife ... had a considerable industrial heritage and a few large industrial employers remain but, compared to other parts of Fife, manufacturing is not well represented in the pattern of employment. Nevertheless, over 80% of the adult population in East Fife are economically active, equal to the Fife average. The area continues to attract economically active residents, partly because many are able to travel out of the area to work in skilled and professional occupations. Significant local employment with large service sector establishments is restricted mainly to RAF Leuchars and the University of St Andrews, as well as other public services in healthcare and with Fife Council.

East Fife remained in the Central League until 1921, apart from a period during the First World War when the Eastern League was reformed. In the period following the war, the clubs competing for the Central League were mainly from the coal and shale mining communities of Fife and West Lothian. As the mining towns thrived with the growth of the mining industry and its associated influx of miners and their families, so did the local football clubs. The result of this was that by the end of the decade, the Central League clubs could afford to pay their players higher wages than they would receive in the Scottish Football League. In an effort to stop the migration of its players to the Central League, the Scottish League decided to admit the Central League clubs, including East Fife, to its membership. The Central League therefore became the Scottish Second Division at the start of season 1921–22.

The second strand to expanding the business base in East Fife is to provide a flexible planning policy framework which will allow new employment opportunities and commerce in rural areas as well as in towns. The Local Plan does this with a view to supporting diversification of farming activities, giving preference to business use over housing when considering the redevelopment of rural properties, and encouraging more sites for employment land in areas where the demand is high and the opportunities exist. A strategic objective of the Fife Development Plan is to provide a seven-year supply of employment land in towns with a population greater than 5,000; the Local Plan therefore identifies new employment land in St Andrews and Cupar. To assist job prospects available to smaller and more rural communities across East Fife, the Local Plan ... identifies employment land at Leuchars, Guardbridge, the Tay bridgehead area, Auchtermuchty, Anstruther, St. Monans, Newburgh, and Cameron.
