What is the cost for the mowers? What is the cost for a trailer? What does insurance cost? How about the pickup to tow the trailer? What does a weed whacker cost? That rate seems to drop pretty fast.
How much do you make a week? What are your benefits worth? What does that work out to per hour.
Lets talk about the trickle down effect. Do anyone see the write-up on the cost of living in the Hamptons? 2 million won't get you much and they said at two million it would be a fixer-up house. Food is double. A hospital bought 2 houses to allow nurses to live in them. Normal people travel up to 3 hours a day from a place they can afford to work there. I'm sure the pay is higher but it would have to be double just to make it worth while.
When you think about what your talking about you may say less.
I know people that hire low wage non english speakers to do lawns and other chores. Probably illegals. If the guy gets injured, they end up paying his Hospital bill, unless he just goes to the e.r. on his own. then the taxpayers pay it. If we jailed employers that hired illegals, minimum wage type work would go up quickly I think.
