“Oh God you are another “jobs Americans won’t do” plutocrat!!! LOL!”
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.
Unfortunately there is a stigma associated with manual labor, because of the illegals.
It’s going to take some time to undo that.
Getting rid of welfare, for able-bodied people would be a good first step.
LOL! $15.hr and he hasn't adjusted wages for inflation? Pay more and quit hiring illegals. If you do that then you are common criminal.
