Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Bracey is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Bracey who work in sales jobs (23.93%), management occupations (15.84%), and healthcare suport services (9.08%). Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 33.33% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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. Another notable thing is that Bracey is an extremely popular vacation destination.
