There are especially a lot of people living in Bowden who work in teaching (15.71%), management occupations (12.86%), and office and administrative support jobs (12.86%).
Bowden is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town's population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.
One downside of living in Bowden, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 46.64 minutes every day commuting to work. It is, however, a pedestrian-friendly town. Many of its neighborhoods are dense enough and have amenities close enough together that people find it feasible to get around on foot.
Being a small town, Bowden does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
