This page shows your earnings based on the hours worked, as listed in the table below. As of 2026, the starting hourly wage at most seafood processing companies is $17.91, while the current overtime rate is $26.87.
Keep in mind that these are gross earnings (before taxes), not net earnings (after taxes). Also, these figures do not account for additional fees or charges, such as room and board, if the company charges this fee.
Total hours represent the number of hours worked in a week. Total earnings are the earnings earned in a week.
Regular hours are the number of hours worked at the standard hourly wage, and regular earnings are the earnings earned in a week at that same rate.
Overtime hours and overtime earnings are calculated the same way as above, but using the overtime wage.
The average hourly wage is calculated as the average of regular and overtime wages. As shown in the table below, your average hourly wage increases significantly as you work more hours per week.
