Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Haskell is neither predominantly one nor the other.

There are especially a lot of people living in Haskell who work in teaching (11.34%), management occupations (11.02%), and sales jobs (9.09%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.90% 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.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
