The commercial fishing industry is the largest private employer in Alaska and produces over $11 billion in revenue each year. To keep the industry thriving, more than 65,000 summer, seasonal, and year-round jobs are needed. Over half of these are filled each year by non-residents of the state of Alaska. Many of these are college students and young adults traveling to Alaska to earn great money, meet new friends and have the experience of a lifetime. The Alaska Fish Jobs Guide was written to help you pinpoint the right job for you.

To be truly successful in your job search you need to be informed before you start looking. Do you want to work on a boat, or on shore? What time of the year do you want to work and for how long? What area of the state do you want to work? What species of fish or seafood do you want to target? How will you get there and what should you take with you? These questions and many more are covered in great detail in the Alaska Fish Jobs Guide.
