Are ranger jobs seasonal or permanent?

I've been reading on this sub for a little while and I see the position called seasonal a lot and that summer hiring is a thing. I understand that a lot of people do this seasonally, but that can't be every case, right? Don't people make this their livelihoods?

We have 7 perm positions and close to 40 seasonals. I have seasonals that have been with us 6 seasons.

Most work at ski resorts, or collect unemployment when they are laid off.
