Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 13.40% 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 Lincoln City is a major vacation destination.

As the vacation season ends, Lincoln City’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
