Companies in the area include MAN/BW Alpha and the Navy Base Frederikshavn (''Flådestation Frederikshavn'').

Frederikshavn, like the rest of North Jutland, was hit with hard [[unemployment]].  The town's largest workplace, the [[shipyard]] [[Danyard Holding|Danyard]], closed in the late 1990s.  This resulted in more than 2,000 workers being unemployed.  Today there is still activity at the large ship building area, with many small companies renting space there. In summer 2008, the unemployment rate, like the rest of Denmark, fell to a minimum low record of approximately 2%.

As with many provincial municipalities around the world, some of its young people leave to large urban cities. However, the municipality is currently engaged in many innovative projects which are attracting tourists and aim to retain population.

Frederikshavn is currently beginning a transition to make it the first medium-sized city/large town in the world to rely exclusively on renewable energy resources for power, including transportation and cars. The process is expected to be completed by 2030.<ref>[http://www.netpublikationer.dk/um/8191/html/chapter17.htm Large-scale use of renewable energy] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719131420/http://www.netpublikationer.dk/um/8191/html/chapter17.htm |date=2011-07-19 }} - Udenrigsministeriet.
