Occupations and Workforce Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Swan Lake is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Swan Lake is a town of managers, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Swan Lake who work in management occupations (25.00%), office and administrative support (17.19%), and personal care services (13.28%). Also of interest is that Swan Lake has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US. Setting & Lifestyle Another notable thing is that Swan Lake is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town鈥檚 population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live. Swan Lake鈥檚 overall crime rate ranks among the lowest in the nation, making it a very safe place to live. One downside of living in Swan Lake, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 32.11 minutes every day commuting to work. Swan Lake is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Swan Lake isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 100.00% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more. As is often the case in a small town, Swan Lake doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
