Heh, I don't think I've ever seen a hn post about where I live. Anyone can tell you that fishing, processing, and the markets are a very complex problem and it would be true. But I would just like to highlight this little excerpt. > Icicle was bought by a private equity firm in 2007, and then sold in 2016. In 2020, it merged with the owner of a shuttered Petersburg plant and became OBI Seafoods. The curtailed operations last summer meant fewer workers in town spending money, and delayed payments for fishermen. It's also my understanding that the wages for processors are less than $2 higher than they were in the eighties. Local kids home on summer break rarely work at the cannery anymore. I'll also add that a lot of seasonal workers from other countries won't be back next year because the processor is doing away with overtime. People want to show up and work 16hr days for three months, then go back to lcol areas. You can't do that when you're limited to 8hrs a day.
