Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Lebanon is a town of service providers, professionals, and managers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lebanon who work in food service (14.97%), healthcare (12.74%), and management occupations (11.33%).

Overall, about 10.15% 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. 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.
