“”””Offer more money, you get what you pay for. Or go out of business.””””

I take it you have no experience hiring people for outside work.

These practices are rampant. The O/T trick I’m familiar with was when one person worked for one dba for hours 1-8 with credentials A, then he would work any subsequent hours for same owner/different dba with credentials B. Quite a devil’s bargain. If you’ve ever noticed the concrete layouts on the X games and street league broadcast, you’ll know who I’m talking about. Those guys are great concrete finishers, though ...

I hire all the time people to work for me. Where do you live and how much are you offering? Can’t find Americans to work is code talk of the globalist hack.

Asplundh employees should go to jail for crimes against nature– they’re absolute careless butchers who don’t give a fnck what homeowners think or what damage they do...

You hire people to do what kind of work?

I am surprised. If the Asplundh family is involved personally, I would be shocked. They are quite conservative. Sounds like a rogue VP and some managers doing their own thing. My father in law was a VP in Iowa for many years. He has since passed on. He would be rolling over in his grave. Of course, that’s been years ago.....so who knows anymore. It’s probably not the company it used to be.

So you don’t hire people for outside work. I understand why you avoided the question.

Some states are reinstituting the welfare work requirements for able-bodied. But a lot aren’t, even though official employment numbers are excellent. Who wants to work when they can get half as much for doing nothing (above the table anyway)?
Skilled construction workers will stay scarce though.
Any luck inquiring at high/vocational schools for help?

You’re the one complaining you can’t find anyone. So you offering to pay minimum wage? LOL. What a joke. I wouldn’t hire you to change light bulb. I really don’t think you have a business.

Crimes against nature? Lol. Their job is to clear utility lines, not trim your tree to make it look purty. If you want that, hire someone to trim your tree yourself so it’s not interfering with a utility line. Or don’t plant a tree near a line in the first place.

Last fall I talked to a foreman of a company who does excavating. They have 500 employees and are a union shop.
They try job fairs, offer free training, anything they can. Too many people just don’t want to leave the couch.
Many people can’t pass a drug test, can’t get a drivers license etc.

Shelter guy is one of those guys who can’t find any to work for minimum wage so he goes to Home Depot and picks up Paco Sanchez and pays him under the table.

Insults are the sign of a weak mind.

I do mostly contracting on government projects. Most have Davis Bacon requirements. The LOWEST I can pay a laborer is 49 bucks an hour.

No. No American cosulting firm even tried to get the business. Tata, Infosys and other immigrant firms saw the opportunity and grabbed it.>>>. i’ll bet they knew they would not be able to bid below tata.

Ha ha ha. The truth comes out. The lowest you can pay is $49.00/hr and you can't find anyone? Yo expect anyone to believe that? What BS artist you are. Go f-ing away. What joke you are.

Demand is going to be higher than supply for a good while- 10 years of labor supply has been destroyed by the Democrats.
Say, is there a liberal arts college nearby? Might be some healthy arts majors graduates looking to ‘live like the people’- or just pay their bills.
