A sizable proportion of Powell's workforce works from home. In total, 8.36% of the workforce works from home.

Other at-home workers may be self-employed individuals who run small businesses from their homes.

Powell is a small town, and as such, it lacks a public transportation system that people rely on to get to and from work every day.
