...lower class take farm labor jobs? I did farm labor for a while, it was hard work and good pay. Farm labor is in a real need for jobs, but most americans are to lazy to do this job so mexicans take them. So instead of crying for welfare, shouldn't we give people the choice to take these jobs or rot in hell?
Most of the people who hire people for farm labor would love to see more americans doing this job. They told me they wish they had more people like me taking these so unemployment would get better and to stop these illegals from taking american money down south.
The company has to pay for the hotel moron. And they dont do that to be nice, they pay because they cant afford to keep finding new people when they move to another field
Farm labor was an example, but i ment manual labor job in general are being taken by illegals because of american laziness. And as for year round, no. But working 12, 14 and even 16 hour shifts should give a person enough money to last the couple month of unemployment.
 
First, most live in the cities or suburbs, far from farms. Second, where would they stay? How would they get there? Even for people willing to give it a try it would be very difficult to do. And farmers need hard workers who are used to it and some with certain skills.
 
Congratulations on your fine work ethic.

Just as a clarifying question, can you tell us how many million farm labor jobs are available these days?

I don't remember the exact numbers, but I think last year approximately 14 million Americans were officially "unemployed" & another 11-12 million were "under-employed" or "discouraged" workers.

So if all the unemployed & under-employed Americans decided to become farm laborers, would there be 25 million jobs available for them?

Also, would those 25 million jobs be available year-round? And if so, could parents ensure that their kids were able to go to school while the adults were migrating from state to state as the seasons changed?

I just don't think your solution is workable for 25 million people, but maybe the statistics prove that I'm wrong here.
 
I agree that most people today are not willing to do manual labour, but
calling them the "lower class" shows a distinct "lack of class".
