There are especially a lot of people living in Carthage who work in office and administrative support jobs (14.06%), sales jobs (9.45%), and management occupations (7.37%).

One downside of living in Carthage is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Carthage, the average commute to work is 36.05 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
