Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Kanorado is neither predominantly one nor the other.

There are especially a lot of people living in Kanorado who work in maintenance occupations (17.69%), sales jobs (16.15%), and office and administrative support (14.62%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 17.97% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county.
