“”””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.””””””
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.
I use temporary field help sometimes for geology work. Their are a few local colleges that have kids, but they are ususaly just for the summer. But then they sometimes know someone, etc. But it can be tough finding guys for such part-time work. And they don’t need any particular skills other than to show up and work hard and long days. I only had one guy that was a waste. He started out okay, but after using him off and on for about three years he turned into crap (late, lazy, etc.). Drugs.
I’m guessing for construction it is getting difficult because the industry seems to have been taken over by Mexicans. Although most of the ones I’ve seen working are hard workers. But I have no idea if they were legal or not. But - seeing a young white guy in construction is getting rarer and rarer.
