Jal is a very small city located in the state of New Mexico. With a population of 2,147 people and just one neighborhood, Jal is the 71st largest community in New Mexico.
Jal is a blue-collar town, with 50.26% of people working in blue-collar occupations, while the average in America is just 27.7%. Overall, Jal is a city of professionals, construction workers and builders, and transportation and shipping workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Jal who work in teaching (20.44%), management occupations (7.97%), and sales jobs (7.07%).
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.79% 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.
The city is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Jal has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Jal a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.
Being a small city, Jal does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
