About Jenkinsburg

Jenkinsburg is a tiny town located in the state of Georgia. With a population of 183 people and just one neighborhood, Jenkinsburg is the 461st largest community in Georgia.

Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Jenkinsburg is neither predominently one or the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Jenkinsburg is a town of sales and office workers, service providers, and production and manufacturing workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Jenkinsburg who work in office and administrative support jobs (17.44%), personal care services (13.95%), and sales jobs (11.63%).

Another important characteristic of Jenkinsburg is that a lot of people work in agricultural jobs, especially compared to most other communities in America, and there are quite a number of farms in town.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 9.09% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. 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 downside of living in Jenkinsburg is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Jenkinsburg, the average commute to work is 32.06 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.

Jenkinsburg is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Jenkinsburg isn't large enough or dense enough to support an extensive public transit system. It has a lot of rural roads, and the distance between houses can be quite large, which together tends to discourage walking and bicycling to work. 100% of residents commute to work in their own car (and the drive is typically to a job out of town). People also tend to drive out of town for other services as well, such as shopping, doctors appointments, and more.

Being a small town, Jenkinsburg does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
