Salmon workers live in, love and support our regions.
The $1.36 billion salmon industry is a significant contributor to the state’s economy and plays a critical role in supporting regional economies throughout Tasmania.
87% of the industry’s economic activity occurs in regional areas, with nine out of ten (89.2%) of our workers in regional Tasmania.
Without the jobs and investment the salmon industry provides, there would be significant impact on small regional communities across the state.
91.3% of salmon industry workers are employed full time, compared with 63.7% Statewide.
