Photos from: Seasonal work in an Alaskan fishery: "the key to making money is overtime!"




Part of the workers recruited by Leader Creek and Silver Bay fisheries, in Naknek, Alaska, socialize at a beach party before the 24 hour production began to process the salmon run from Bristol Bay. About 400 workers are recruited each year just to staff Leader Creek. Alaskan companies pay for travel, provide meals and housing and pay overtime to recruit enough summer help to handle the month long salmon run.
