Abstract: Seafood processor preferences for hiring employees are explored in light of references, wages, and immigrant situations. The objectives of this study are to determine the relative importance of labor attributes, and to identify distinct clusters of processors in terms of preference for immigrant labor using conjoint analysis. Results from this study indicate that for seafood processors wage is the most important factor in hiring labor, and visa status is the least important factor when hiring seafood workers.
