There are especially a lot of people living in East Alton who work in office and administrative support jobs (16.53%), sales jobs (14.49%), and food service (7.14%).
East Alton is very much a car-oriented village. This is because the population of East Alton 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. 96.55% 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.
