About Murray
Murray is a very small town located in the state of Iowa. With a population of 1,458 people and just one neighborhood, Murray is the 256th largest community in Iowa. Murray has an unusually large stock of pre-World War II architecture, making it one of the older and more historic towns in the country.
When you are in Murray, you'll notice that it is more blue-collar than most other communities in America. 44.5% of Murray's employed work in blue-collar jobs, while America averages only 24.7% that do. Overall, Murray is a town of sales and office workers, production and manufacturing workers, and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Murray who work in office and administrative support jobs (12.73%), sales jobs (6.57%), and food service (5.76%).
Another important characteristic of Murray 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.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their homes - 8.36% 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.
Murray is a small town, and as such doesn't have a public transit system that people use to get to and from their jobs every day.
