 Most of the residents engage in the fishery for their primary source of employment, and most of those who do not must travel to the nearby town of Clarenville for work.Following the collapse of the cod fishery in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the once abundant cod and caplin fisheries were replaced by the crab fishery, and this focus has persisted into the 21st century.There is also St. Alban's Anglican Church and a Catholic church.
