The main industries in Nervei are sea harvesting and farming. The main exports are cod, dried fish, king crabs, sheep, and products from mohair wool.

There is no official road going to the village yet, so commuting is done by boat from Skjånes or Smalfjord. The residents have been trying to get a road connection for many years, and some work has begun on building a road from Rv. 888 at Reinoksevannet to Nervei. Currently, the dirt-gravel road is open during most of the year when the weather is good, but the road is not high quality.[3]
