Unlike some villages where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Honor is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Honor is a village of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Honor who work in office and administrative support (20.69%), sales jobs (13.79%), and food service (12.07%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.34% 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.
Another notable thing is that Honor is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the village’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends.

During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
It is a fairly quiet village because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Honor has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Honor has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Honor than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here.

As is often the case in a small village, Honor doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
