The Department of Labor reports that from 1986 to 2000, the American Samoa Consumer Price Index rose 54 percent. During the same period, the tuna industry minimum wage rose only 12 percent. Figure 19 in Section Three of the Department of Labors 2001 Economic Report shows the widening cumulative gap between the tuna cannery minimum wage and the cost of living in American Samoa. While production at the canneries increased during this period, 6 out of 10 American Samoa residents were living below the poverty line, according to the 1990 U.S. Census.
