"$50/hr x 40 hrs/week = $2000/week x 50 weeks = $100,000 a year. Yeah, I'll take that."

I wonder how many weeks a year you can pick lettice - what if picking season is only 10 weeks?

In part, that is why they are called migrant workers. They migrate from one growing area to another as crops come ripe. That is part of the reason Americans don't do this job much. Most aren't willing to leave a permanent home to do the picking. Illegals, who don't have a permanent home, are more willing to migrate.
