Punatang,
I found this on Google about cannery wages:
“in American Samoa, the minimum wage for the Fishing Canning/Processing industry was $5.56 per hour in 2022. This means that a full-time worker at the cannery earning minimum wage in 2020 would make over USD 44.00 per day”
Now I’m fairly certain you will accuse me of all manner of disrespect, but hear me out. I lived in American Samoa for a winter albeit a long time ago, but this is still a personal experiential observation. Most residents of American Samoa will not work at the cannery. Many residents do not graduate high school, and they are the most likely residents to work there. Does the quote you posted above sound like it was written by someone who speaks English as a second language, and didn’t finish high school?
