Residents who used to work mostly as farmers now prefer to work at the PLTU even though it is only a rough laborer. Besides the establishment of the PLTU also led to service businesses such as boarding houses and stalls aimed at providing the needs of migrant residents who worked at the PLTU. Changing people's livelihoods automatically leads to increased income in the community. The presence of migrants who live in RW 03 does not significantly affect the lives of local residents.
