Local Jobs

In researching local jobs, they seem to run well below $10 an hour in wage. The economy seems very low when looked at over an national average, and yet we live quite comfortably. One of the reasons is because income is not the driving criteria in the area for a good life. We enjoy ourselves just fine with cheap or free things to do, and don't have to have the biggest and best houses in order to feel safe or happy.

Local people easily content themselves with good neighbors, fun community activities, hiking, fishing, gardening, skiing, and numerous outdoor activities.
