There are especially a lot of people living in Llano who work in office and administrative support jobs (13.08%), food service (8.45%), and building maintenance and grounds keeping (8.05%).

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 12.17% 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.
