“There are growers out there screaming for labor,”...........
There are thousands of signs out there stating “Help Wanted”, I see them everywhere. People no longer need to work as it is easier to live on welfare that actually hold a job.
My daughter-in-law has a 22 employee calf raising operation and she can’t find workers either. Many local factories here in Wisconsin need welders and can’t find any that want to actually earn a good days wages.
Go to the local tavern and there, those who are capable, sit sipping their beer and telling each other how tough it is to find work. I don’t buy it.
Illegal aliens work like the toughest union ever. If you aren't one of them you do not belong. Those are "their" jobs.
How many illegals does your DIL employ?
As for welders that is a skilled job usually controlled by unions.
It is not that people do not want to work, it is that they are blocked from working
Fixed.
