I spend part of every summer in Maine - I haven't seen any jobs going unfilled for lack of local labor. The summer jobs are taken by the local teens and their mothers. Shockingly, they even do the work the "Americans won't do anymore" such as bussing tables and cleaning hotel rooms.

You are correct! This is just pure greed on the part of the owners. All the Boston money goes to Ogunquitt in the warm months, and they tip well..godd money even for americans!!

I live here and that is what everyone in the tourist industry talks about. The college kids are back in school in August. Tourists are also coming later in the season and staying longer. It is a problem the Vacationland State of Maine has been facing for quite some time.

The economy of Maine thanks you..come back soon! ;)
