The local primary labor market can employ few workers, other employees can work in public employment or they can work as a seasonal worker in agriculture buti it does not provide an income that can be calculated all year. There are few opportunities in the region, so they can not work in the nearby settlements. Many locals have to go to remote settlement for work.
