I taught in the East Sepic Provence. The majority of people I see and know were subsistence farmers. Numerous students when I asked the class, 1/2 were subsistence farmers. A lot of our students were regional. There were a lot more regional people in PNG then from the cities. I remember talking to an aid agency and they said that there were a lot of people in the bush at Maprick. A lot more then the Wewak town center.
On the coast, you got some fishermen. You had a few people do local jobs, but they were pretty poorly paid (80 kina per week is the PNG average wage. I suspect stores paid less).
By far most people will be planting and working the land. It’s a tough life but you can survive.

- Papua New Guinea is a country known for its abundant resources, warm people and a land where modern luxuries like electricity and running water are still not readily available to all.
- About 80% of Papua New Guinea's population live in rural areas with few or no facilities of modern life.
- Many tribes in the isolated mountainous interior have little contact with one another, let alone with the outside world, and live within a non-monetarised economy dependent on subsistence agriculture.
- Most common in the Oil & Gas, construction and aviation industries work is carried out in remote locations.
