Pay enough, they’ll do it.

I have an unemployed son, age 20. Pay him $20/hr. He’d do it.

I just love these people who try to cheat the labor market, then blame the quality of the workforce when they can't get away with it.

The fact of the matter is: if you can't get anyone to gut fish for less than $100 an hour, the rate for fish gutting is now $100 an hour, no matter what YOU think it should be.

I see the same thing down here in Florida whenever we have a hurricane. Many people would rather have business owners thrown in jail for "gouging" rather than admit the value of a sheet of plywood just skyrocketed due to market conditions.
