The work is paid well considering the cost of living in the area but is very dangerous.
Workers earn around Rp50,000 – Rp75,000 (USD$5.50 – USD8.30) per day and once out of the crater, still need to carry their loads of sulfur chunks about three kilometers to the nearby Paltuding Valley to get paid.
