I will if they legalize marijuana...exactly what I'm saying!! .the illegals/immigrants keep the wages lowWhere I live we need folks to help out with a very busy summer season--not only harvest but tourists up the wazoo. The economy is good enough that a majority of folks have found steady, year-round jobs and are not available for a May-October gig in a low paid service industry job. Last year, with visa #'s cut, some seasonal businesses literally could not open; they could not find enough workers. It isn't only that, though. We apparently have more jobs than qualified people to fill them. We are one of the few states that is actually losing population. So immigrants are given the royal welcome. I can't imagine Maine is the only state with some of those issues.sure -I see a bunch of doctors and engineers that are recent immigrants--that still will bring wages lower with more workersNot entirely, harmonica.for low paying jobs--and so they can lower wages--more workers = low wages higher prices
to keep low paying jobs at low wages
Yep, the Boise unemployment rate is 2.8% and statewide Idaho is 2.9. BOTH are considered full employment.
Guess who wants to dig them potatoes early fall in eastern Idaho for 7 bucks an hour?
Not Idahoans!
Farmers fear losing immigrant workers under Trump crackdown
and don't tell me there are no Americans willing to dig potatoes --bullshit
