One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 31.90% 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.
Another notable thing is that McCall is a major vacation destination. Much of the city’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, McCall’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.
One of the benefits of McCall is that there is very little traffic. The average commute to work is 11.98 minutes, which is substantially less than the national average. Not only does this mean that the drive to work is less aggravating, but noise and pollution levels are lower as a result.
Being a small city, McCall does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
McCall is one of the most well-educated cities in the nation. 42.76% of adults in McCall have at least a bachelor's degree. Compare that to the average community in America, which has just 21.84% with a bachelor's degree or higher.
