The location of this research is Sanenrejo Village and Andongrejo Village, Tempurejo District, Jember Regency with 71 respondents from households of ex-illegal loggers. For the first objective of this research, quantitative descriptive analysis was used and for the second objective, the independent sample t test was used. According to the findings of this research, the average household income of ex-illegal loggers is IDR 2,384,823 per month. The household income of ex-illegal loggers from the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors has significant differences.
