It is permitted to engage in the kinds of labor that are prohibited on the Sabbath and festivals, i.e., traveling, writing, using electricity, cooking, etc., especially for the purpose of performing a mitzva or enjoying the day.
It is strongly discouraged, however, to treat Purim as a normal workday, and it is written that one who engages in such labor will not derive benefit from it (Shulchan Aruch 696:1).

Is Purim a working holiday for Jewish People?
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)

These are a mixture of major and minor Jewish festivals. Hanukkah and Purim are minor festivals (there is no prohibition on doing work on those days -- they are not holidays), where Pesach and Succot are major ones (work is prohibited -- so Jews should take them as holidays). (Note, Pesach is a week long, only the start and end are full holidays, work is permitted on the middle days.)
