Occupation
The majority of Wazirs Mahsuds and suleimankhail of South Waziristan are pastoral. The Wazirs breed horses and sheep and earn their livelihood from sheep-rearing. Suleimankhail are also horses and sheep and some go to different parts of Punjab in summers and most of them are in Iran to earn their livelihood. A large number of Mahsuds are employed in the Army, as levies and Khassadars in militia and scouts. Mahsuds have also taken to business in Tank and Dera Ismail Khan driving buses and trucks. The Agency also produces or trades charcoal, wool, potatos, chilghozas and a few varieties of locally grown fruit.
