During the 1960s, the Anglo Canadian Pulp & Paper Mills company is the main employer with about 300 permanent jobs. In the logging season, about 1 500 lumberjacks come in the worksites.
At the end of the same decade, working conditions improve greatly. Chainsaws, tractors and trucks are now used. Fewer forest workers are thus needed. However, there are still about 1 000 workers across 10 camps
