So the locals can’t work on something else in the off season?

They “can”, but have you asked yourself why are they working shitty precarious jobs in the first place?

It’s not like their economies are that dynamic and have the liquidity to absorb most of them with decent stable jobs.

We like to forget but it only takes a year like 2008 to remind us.

That is, unfortunately, correct in many instances. Jobs are not an infinite resource.
