In the Haute-Ubaye, the mountain peaks exceed 3000 m above sea level and all the passes are close to or above 2000 m in altitude. In this part of the department is one of the highest roads in Europe: the main road D64 reaches an altitude of 2802 m near the <a href="/wiki/Col_de_la_Bonette" title="Col de la Bonette">Col de la Bonette</a> (2715 m) and connects the region of <a href="/wiki/Barcelonnette" title="Barcelonnette">Barcelonnette</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Tin%C3%A9e" title="Tinée">Tinée</a> and <a href="/wiki/V%C3%A9subie" title="Vésubie">Vésubie</a> valleys.</li></ul></li></ul> <p>The relief of the land compartmentalises the region: the enclosed valleys are difficult to access, so dividing the country into as many local areas which communicate very little with the outside.

It is in the Durance valley that the most important traffic routes are found: the <a href="/wiki/A51_autoroute" title="A51 autoroute">A51 autoroute</a> and the railway main line. Almost all of the department is in the watershed of the Durance except for the extreme south-east (the cantons of <a href="/wiki/Canton_of_Annot" title="Canton of Annot">Annot</a> and <a href="/wiki/Canton_of_Entrevaux" title="Canton of Entrevaux">Entrevaux</a>) which are drained by the <a href="/wiki/Var_(river)" title="Var (river)">Var</a>. </p><p>The main tributaries of the Durance in the department are the <a href="/wiki/Ubaye" title="Ubaye">Ubaye</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Bl%C3%A9one" title="Bléone">Bléone</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Asse_(river)" title="Asse (river)">Asse</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Verdon_(river)" title="Verdon (river)">Verdon</a> on the left bank, the <a href="/wiki/Bu%C3%ABch" title="Buëch">Buëch</a>, the Jabron, and the Largue on the right bank. </p><p>The Durance and its tributaries have a torrential character, with a transition between the snow regime of the high valleys and the Mediterranean rainfall regime in the lower mountains and below. The summer low water levels are severe and violent floods occur when heavy rains fall which is often in autumn. The Durance, Verdon, Bléone and Buëch have had the construction of several dams and the diversion of parts of the river for irrigation and power generation in the 20th century. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Climate">Climate</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alpes-de-Haute-Provence&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Climate"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The climate of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence department is a <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_climate" title="Mediterranean climate">Mediterranean climate</a> degrading by altitude and latitude. In fact, while in the lower valleys and flat lands of Haute-Provence an inland Mediterranean climate prevails, by contrast in the hills it is more mixed with the valley of the Ubaye characteristic of the inner Alps, with a marked continentality: winters are very harsh with stormy summers. In between, the two influences mingle in the area of the Lower Alps. The characteristics of both climate trends are found throughout the department to a greater or lesser extent: </p> <ul><li>dry air and little fog (less than 20 days per year)</li> <li>infrequent rainfall (less than 90 days per year) but heavy (650 to 1500 mm per year)</li> <li>frequent thunderstorms in the mountains in summer</li> <li>High sunshine hours in all seasons (2550 to 2850 hours per year)</li> <li>high thermal amplitudes, diurnal (over 10 °C) and annual (18 °C)</li> <li>fresh and bright winters</li> <li>very hot summers barely tempered by altitude.</li></ul> <p>Haute-Provence is therefore very interesting for European astronomers looking for a partly cloudy night sky and untouched by light pollution. Many amateur observatories have been built and the <a href="/wiki/Observatoire_de_Haute-Provence" class="mw-redirect" title="Observatoire de Haute-Provence">Observatoire de Haute-Provence</a> is one of the largest observatories in continental Europe. It is an active astronomy research centre. </p> <table class="wikitable centre" style="text-align:right"> <caption class="hidden">Comparison of local Meteorological data with other cities in

The tradition of the left is also manifested in rural areas since all cantons devoted to agriculture very early showed an inclination to vote for Republican candidates. The installation of the large chemical plant at <a href="/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau-Arnoux-Saint-Auban" title="Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban">Saint-Auban</a> also had a favorable effect on the vote for the left (see below) and has been a breeding ground for the political organization of the left in the department by the trade union movement.

Employee headcounts have risen sharply since 2001 as there have been a total of 627 additional jobs (more than 10% of the workforce) since that date. </p><p>The number of employees is about 22% of the workforce employed in the private sector. </p><p>This has resulted from the development, particularly in the cities of Manosque and Digne, of major retail shopping areas. Nearly 1,600 employees in the services sector are employed there. </p><p>Service activities cover a total of 7,322 institutions in late 2004 with 4,323 (over 59%) with no employees. </p><p>It is this sector, however which has the largest number of establishments with more than 50 employees – 96 establishments. </p><p>At the end of 2006, this sector employed, among others, 1,141 employees in the transport sector, 3,425 employees in business services, and more than 4,000 in the field of services to individuals. </p><p>These sectors are evolving and increasing their activities. </p><p>The positive migration flow for the department often originates from the arrival of retired households, due in particular to the significant increase in numbers of elderly and home care services. </p><p>The transport sector created sixty additional jobs but it was especially the service sector enterprises and service to individuals (e.g. health and social activity) experienced a dramatic and significant growth. </p><p>The health sector has substantially increased its importance in the economy with over a thousand more jobs, especially in the segments of short-term care-giving and maintenance, with nearly 850 related jobs. </p><p>This is largely explained by the fact that the major industrial companies in the department, such as companies in the construction sector, use temporary workers, instead of hiring full-time. </p><p>In the canton of Volonne, where Saint-Auban is, the reduction in industrial jobs (160 jobs lost on the Arkema work site) is partially offset by the increase in temporary employment (100 additional jobs ). </p><p>Similarly, in Manosque, the first city of the department in terms of employment, and sustainable development (2,000 more jobs in five years), the increase in temporary jobs has been spectacular – reaching 400 jobs. These jobs are in, among other things, the cosmetics industry, the construction industry and public works, and retail. Large retail chains in the city prefer this mode of hiring to permanent staff. </p><p>In the field of health and social activities, there has been significant job creation also with 760 more jobs, bringing to 13% the share of employees in the sector in terms of total private employment. This increase is particularly in hospitality and accommodation with nearly a thousand employees, an increase of about 150 jobs since 2001, while the area of home care now employs 741 employees instead of 457 five years earlier. </p><p>Finally, note that voluntary work, with nearly 1,000 jobs offered, is also present in the department. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Tourism">Tourism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Alpes-de-Haute-Provence&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Tourism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The area's scenery provides the background to many activities and sights.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
