All true, but importing cheap labor is not a good thing for workers.
Also, I still think 300 is quite high, even if food is included.
I mean, fast food companies and restaurants are hiring children so I think more people in the workforce is a good thing.
Also, most Americans don’t want to pick vegetables in the field or clean bathroom stalls. These people are willing to do the dirty jobs that are necessary for our current way of life.
They hire children because they’re cheap and abusable. They need to pay more.
That sounds like an abuse of power by the employer. I would rather adults work those jobs.
If the business can’t afford to pay adults a livable wage the way they operate, it doesn’t sound like they should be in business.
I submitted applications to all restoraunts around me and never heard back. Just lies.
That’s the problem. There are many Americans who can pick vegetables but lack the work ethic to pick vegetables. We shouldn’t import people because other people are lazy.
Unemployment is at 3.8%, which is pretty good as most economist say < 5% is the bar for a healthy economy. So I would say it’s not that people are lazy, it’s that new industries that provide more economic opportunities appear.
Also, short of economic depression, I’m not sure how you convince lazy people to not be lazy.
