A relatively large number of people in Clinton telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 13.87% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country.

For a lot of people, the subway helps to get to and from their jobs every morning, which benefits everyone in the Clinton area by reducing both traffic and air pollution.
