You might think that there would be lots of people wanting to do some farm work with today's high unemployment rates. Not so, largely due to government policies. Every time they extend unemployment benefits, as they did recently to part timers, or extend the time people can collect, there is less incentive to do any work. If a person works at a rate of pay less than their usual, they will collect less unemployment the next time they get laid off...thus lots of jobs "Americans won't do." Thanks government.
Taking unemployment should be the last thing a person takes. Get out and work. There is always something that needs doing. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to get somebody to mow my yard and it’s the size of a postage stamp. I’m old, I would love to have someone to help me clean out my basement. It’s a disaster, but nobody has the time to help me out. I’ve never taken unemployment. I just go make a job. I’m still working (that’s why I need help at home)a full-time job at 75.
