Which kind of lettuce......Which kind?sure.... that's the only reason everyone gets a raise or higher pay.... you say the receptionist position that pays $12 an hour now as a starting salary is producing more than the starting salary for a receptionist paid $10 an hour 5 years earlier... okeedokie.When you get a raise it's because you produce more,not just because.
I think it is a combination of many things HWGA, that allows salaries to go up, productivity being just one of them....
And if your salary does not go up with your productivity going up....what's the reason for that....?
Also, do you think that agricultural workers have not improved their productivity with new and innovative ways of growing and planting fruit and veggies? Do you think productivity for the migrant worker has stayed the same and not improved with innovation over the years?
The price of gasoline has made food prices rise more than anything else...imo.
Obviously wages go up over time or you'd still be making 2 bucks an hour.
And if you improve your production over time and you dont get a raise,I would suggest you find another job.
As far as ag innovations go it's the machinery that improves not the worker.
I mean how hard is it to pick lettuce?
Which kind what?
Iceberg ....
