•Most kibbutz members work in some section of the kibbutz economy: orchards, factory, dairy, fishponds, or in one of its maintenance units.
•Routine jobs such as dining room duties are rotated among members.
•When too few members are available for a particular job, outside workers may be hired and paid wages or receive room and food on the kibbutz.
•While demanding from its members responsibility and commitment to the community, the kibbutz provides them with their needs from infancy to old age.
