About Pismo Beach

Pismo Beach is a somewhat small coastal city (ie. on the ocean or tidally-influenced rivers) located in the state of California. With a population of 8,537 people and just one neighborhood, Pismo Beach is the 453rd largest community in California.

Pismo Beach is a decidedly white-collar city, with fully 87.72% of the workforce employed in white-collar jobs, well above the national average.

There are especially a lot of people living in Pismo Beach who work in sales jobs (12.13%), office and administrative support jobs (11.75%), and management occupations (11.70%).

A relatively large number of people in Pismo Beach telecommute to their jobs. Overall, about 7.45% of the workforce works from home.

This is definately true of Pismo Beach, which supports a strong tourist economy.
