Mio is a very small town located in the state of Michigan. With a population of 1,690 people and three associated neighborhoods, Mio is the 388th largest community in Michigan.Unlike some towns where white-collar or blue-collar occupations dominate the local economy, Mio is neither predominantly one nor the other. Instead, it has a mixed workforce of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Mio is a town of service providers, professionals, and sales and office workers. There are especially a lot of people living in Mio who work in food service (12.80%), sales jobs (8.91%), and office and administrative support (8.53%). One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 10.63% 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 Mio 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.
