The Maine Attraction
The allure of Maine attracts a large number of tourists every year. Some come for its world-renowned seafood, which includes the famous Maine lobster. Others come to see the many hues of the dazzling autumn foliage. Hunters and anglers venture to Maine for its abundance of wildlife. Although many people enjoy vacationing in Maine, some decide to call it home.
Work in Maine
The traditional jobs in Maine include commercial fishing, farming, logging, and of course, tourism. Commercial fishing includes not only the catching of fish, but also lobsters, crabs, scallops, clams, and other delicious seafood enjoyed by people around the world. Farming is still an important job in Maine, which ranges from the potato farms of northern Maine to the blueberry farms downeast in Washington County, as well as the many family farms that grow the produce we eat every day. And forestry workers cut the trees into logs to be sent to lumber and paper mills. However, in recent years, tourism has eclipsed them all to become Maine's number one industry. And it is no wonder, since year after year, more people are disovering the natural beauty of Maine.
With the advent of the digital age, more people are able to work from home, increasing the number of non-traditional jobs in Maine. Those who once had to commute to the big city, may now sit on their deck with a laptop while overlooking the lake or the ocean. This stress-free way of life actually tends to stimulate creativity, which in turn increases productivity.
