      Economy



      One of Wasco's major economic activities is agriculture, specifically the growing of rose bushes. In 2007 fifty-five percent of all roses grown in the United States were grown in or around Wasco. Two of Wasco's major nurseries closed in 2010, and by 2011 Wasco was producing only approximately forty percent of US-grown roses.
      Oil and gas extraction is a significant part of the local economy. The Wasco Oil Field was discovered in April 1938, by Continental Oil Company. The large Semitropic Oil Field is along State Route 46 about 7 miles (11 km) west of town. Formerly a gas field, the region now mainly produces oil. Vintage Production, an arm of Occidental Petroleum, is the primary operator as of 2010.


      Sports


      The Wasco Reserve (called the Reserves in their 2019 debut season) were a professional baseball team competing in the independent Pecos League which is not affiliated with Major League Baseball or Minor League Baseball. Their home games through the 2021 season were played at Wasco Athletic Park, sharing Bakersfield's Sam Lynn Ballpark for their 2022 final season.


      Transportation


      The Amtrak service, the San Joaquins, stops at the Wasco station, which has one platform next to the single track; the station building was demolished in 2021. Being on the route of the high speed rail project without a stop, Wasco city officials have expressed concerns that the Amtrak service might be discontinued. As of August 2020, no decision has been announced. The construction has impacted the city and the costs for asbestos removal are in dispute in a labor housing complex that had to be abandoned and demolished. While paid relocation costs, the city can’t afford to demolish the camp and wants the rail authority to pay. Chief Executive Brian Kelly came to the city to discuss the issue in 2021.
