There are especially a lot of people living in Lothian who work in office and administrative support jobs (15.93%), sales jobs (12.13%), and management occupations (8.50%).

The town is also nautical, which means that parts of Lothian are somewhat historic and bounded by the ocean or tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Such areas are often places that visitors and locals go for waterfront activities or taking in the scenery.

Lothian is very much a car-oriented town. This is because the population of Lothian 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. 96.89% 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.
