Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Earp is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Earp is a town of service providers, sales and office workers, and construction workers and builders.

A relatively large number of people in Earp telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.51% of the workforce works from home. While this may seem like a small number, as a fraction of the total workforce it ranks among the highest in the country.

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

Setting & Lifestyle

Another notable thing is that Earp is a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season.

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