Living in Hancock



Hancock is a tiny village located in the state of Wisconsin. With a population of 400 people and two associated neighborhoods, Hancock is the 471st largest community in Wisconsin.

Another important characteristic of Hancock is that a lot of people work in agricultural jobs, especially compared to most other communities in America, and there are quite a number of farms in town.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 14.39% 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.
