The high unemployment rates s`hoon here are a the two iniportant i.ne ustries in butts o 4result`of County's e'i.onomy agriculture and �ceczeation. Both of :these 3industries tend'to create high fluxuations in employment and uneinployment due"to the seasonal nature oz their op'- exations This high unemployment contributes directly, to the °low incomes of many families in Butte County: Rope- fully, as the County moves towards a higher population it ,. can broaden its economic base to incluc,; �industriea that will provide high employment during periods that other in= dustries are experiencing low employment. As agr cultur�+� becomes more inee�anizedit will have additional ,Vgction�� in its labor nee&s . This. will force workers irito other r sectors of 'the „ecoiiomy where employment may hopefully be less of a seascanal nature. As the recreation industry ex- pands the oppotite may result.
