One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 8.73% 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. 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.

One thing noticeable about Detroit, is that it has a large population of people who are young, single, educated, and upwardly-mobile career starters.

This makes Detroit a great place for young, educated career starters looking to find many people like themselves, with good opportunities for friendships, socializing, romance, and fun. In fact, Detroit is one of the top larger cities in America for educated single professionals to flock.
