Lakemont is a very small town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 2,728 people and two associated neighborhoods, Lakemont is the 231st largest community in Georgia.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Lakemont is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Lakemont is a town of sales and office workers, professionals, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Lakemont who work in sales jobs (25.44%), management occupations (11.06%), and healthcare (7.28%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 11.37% 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. Another notable thing is that Lakemont is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live. Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times.
