Obviously the Work Visa would be permitted to work. But besides work visa, other visas like Exchange Visa (J Visa) or Student Visa (F Visa) does also permit an individual work under certain conditions. For example, J and F Visa permits the work within the campus called On campus work for about 20 hours in a week and also may be permitted off campus under certain conditions.
