Fewer are willing to do physical work,

Oh God you are another "jobs Americans won't do" plutocrat!!! LOL!

No, I'm a realist who's actually knowledgeable of the skills and work ethic of today's workforce and the tort issues with manufacturing products in the U.S.

But keep your head in the sand and maybe the economic storm that's coming will miss us.

Our farm is surrounded on three sides by Christmas tree farms. The owners had ads for $15 hr (50-60 hr weeks) for tree trimmers for summer jobs. Always hired local HS boys.. My brother worked there for two summers.

It is brutal work 90+ degree weather, bees, snakes, poison ivy and spiders and multi flora rose.

Could not find student workers over last 5 years

Ended up sub contracting to a group of Hispanics to get the job done.

$15 hr for a summer job and no takers.
