With unemployment in the U.S. at a historical low, experts say fewer young people are making their way north to make fishing their full-time job.

America loves its reality TV fishing shows like Discovery's"Deadliest Catch" and National Geographic's"Wicked Tuna." But in reality, it's an industry plagued by not having enough workers.

He could use some help, but with record low unemployment in the lower 48 states, fewer young people are making their way north to Kodiak to make fishing their full-time job. This summer, the U.S. Commerce Department announced it was developing a five-year strategy to support the $165 billion seafood industry, noting what it calls a"significant labor shortage." About $2 million in federal money is earmarked for training the next generation of fishers, not just in Alaska, but also in the Great Lakes region, New England, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific Northwest.
