Williamsburg is a somewhat small city located in the state of Kentucky. With a population of 5,332 people and six associated neighborhoods, Williamsburg is the 86th largest community in Kentucky.

One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 9.62% 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.

Williamsburg is a small town with a large college student population. Because of this, there is a real youthful, hip vibe to the place, and much of the life in the town is centered on the college.

Spending by students, and faculty and staff jobs, are a big part of the local economy.
