The major employers here in Penticton are tourism and Retail. Wages are very low. Buying a home is out of the question for most people. It's very difficult to find affordable rental accomodation. Rent usually takes from around 40 to 50 percent of a person's income. Your figure is was too low. Unemployment is high. If you have to work for a living, don't come here unless you have a guaranteed job.
