==Industry==

[[Bratsk Reservoir]] has traditionally been a major employer for the city of Bratsk. Thousands were involved in its construction, and to this day the reservoir, and dam, support many jobs in the city, both directly connected to the dam itself, and secondary industries - i.e. fishing. Bratsk Reservoir is a popular tourist attraction, and due to this, Bratsk has a small, but notable, tourism industry.

Modern Bratsk is classed as a 'high-density industrial region', producing around 20% of the industrial output of the [[Irkutsk oblast]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.pribaikal.ru/ekonomika1.html#:~:text=%D0%AD%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0.%20%D0%91%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%20%D1%8F%D0%B2%D0%BB%D1%8F%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%81%D1%8F%20%D0%BA%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%BC%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B%D1%88%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%BC,%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%20%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B8%D1%82%20%D0%98%D1%80%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%82%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%2C%20%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%8C%D0%B5%20%E2%80%94%D0%90%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83)|access-date=July 15, 2021|title=Братск: экономика, ископаемые ресурсы, ЖКХ}}</ref>
