With a population of 17,252 people and four associated neighborhoods, Lebanon is the 56th largest community in Indiana.Unlike some cities where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Lebanon is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Lebanon is a city of professionals, sales and office workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lebanon who work in management occupations (11.43%), sales jobs (9.85%), and office and administrative support (9.55%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.39% 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.
