GDP of Lucknow District as of 2019 is '''8 billion dollars''' (₹59031.41 crore) [http://updes.up.nic.in/esd/Book/DDP2019-20%20M21.pdf]

==Structure and growth in employment==
The distribution of main workers in 2001 by different categories reveals that almost 21 percent are cultivators while another 6 percent are agricultural laborers. This is quite understandable in the district where rural population percentage is low as 37 percent. What is remarkable is that the share of population in rural areas has registered a decline from about 37 percent in 1991 to 36 percent in 2001. In the same row cultivators declined from 29.73 percent in 1991 to 21.06 percent and agricultural labourers declined from 8.70 percent to 6.50 percent in 2001. Agricultural fervor of the workforce shows a decline in favour of non-agricultural activities in the state.{{Citation needed|date=July 2020}}

This attracted Edward Dyer to set up a unit based on [[molasses]] in the city. Dyer Breweries was incorporated in 1855 and was Asia's first commercial brewery. The company name was changed to [[Mohan Meakin Brewery]] in 1967 (the word "Breweries" was dropped in the eighties as the company diversified into other industries).<ref>{{cite news|author=Roger Protz |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/mar/28/foodanddrink.travelnews |title=Cheers! | Life and style |work=The Guardian |location=London |date= 28 March 2007|accessdate=26 March 2010 }}</ref>
