Super spoiler question about how willowshore works:
** spoiler omitted **
Whether or not the town can pay the PCs for Earn Income is left to the GM to determine, but certainly the PCs are increasingly the ones in town who folks WILL try to support and pay. And in fact, the town has nothing else to spend money on since there's no traders coming through, so in a way, the PCs are the ONLY thing that's the town's coffers are being used to pay folks.
That said, not all payment has to be given in coins. The PCs could be paid in goods and services of equal amount, or even in "good karma" that you can track as a "karma point = 1 GP" and then whenever Shinzo comes along, Shinzo sees how much good the PCs are doing for the townsfolk and grant them credit in his store so they can use karma points as gp to buy stuff.
As for the initial deaths in book 1, the idea is that the population figure listed in Willowshore's stat block is POST that event. If the PCs fail significantly and an unexpectedly large number of citizens die, then feel free to adjust that population figure, but as written, if the PCs complete chapters 1 and 2 of the first book, then Willowshore's living population should "start" at the value listed in its stat block.
