Dallas is a very small borough located in the state of Pennsylvania. With a population of 2,689 people and six associated neighborhoods, Dallas is the 545th largest community in Pennsylvania.Unlike some boroughs where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Dallas is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Dallas is a borough of professionals, service providers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Dallas who work in healthcare (13.01%), management occupations (11.29%), and office and administrative support (8.08%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.17% 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. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes. As is often the case in a small borough, Dallas doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.The education level of Dallas ranks among the highest in the nation.
