Occupations and Workforce

Unlike some towns, Tollhouse isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Tollhouse are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs.

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

Another notable thing is that Tollhouse 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.
