With the shift away from [[rural]] living patterns and toward [[interstate highway]] satellite [[suburb]]an living patterns, combined with the general U.S. shift away from [[agricultural]] and [[Industrial sector|industrial]] economies, Cedartown is left in an awkward position. The city suffered a major economic blow when the [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company]] closed its local [[factory]] operations. For its employment, Cedartown mainly relies on the prospect of large [[corporation|corporate operation centers]] such as [[Cingular Wireless]], [[manufacturing]] operations like that of [[The HON Company]], and the [[retail]] operations of [[Wal-Mart]].

The Hon Company is Cedartown's largest for-profit employer with over 800 employees. With a recently announced expansion, this number will grow in the near future. Cedartown is also home to an AT&T (formerly Cingular) technical support facility for the company's wireless customers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=AT&T Cedartown {{!}} Cell Phones, Wireless Plans & Accessories {{!}} 1561 Rome Highway, Cedartown, GA {{!}} AT&T Store |url=https://www.att.com/stores/georgia/cedartown/113238 |access-date=2023-03-19 |website=www.att.com |language=en}}</ref>
