All work is permitted since Purim is not subject to the Shabbath like restrictions on work: though it is suggested that we should not go abut our ordinary business on Purim out of respect for the holiday, and if it is possible, it is preferable to take the day off from work.

However, it is perfectly acceptable to work in order to fulfill a mitzvah, or to do work that fulfills Purim related needs and activities. Also, work, such as driving, cooking or turning on light is certainly permitted.

Yet, keep in mind that the Sages advised:

"Whoever works on Purim will never see a blessing from the profits earned."(Code of Jewish Law, Orach Chaim 696:1)
