I live in the Black Hills. Seems like there are a lot of foreign students working at the bars and restaurants here during the summer.

I know foreign kids come over here and work in summer camps. So that means there are jobs available.

FWIW, my sister worked for Fred Harvey in Grand Canyon back in the 1970s. She started washing dishes, ended up as a line cook by summer's end. Four ten hour days of work followed by three day's off in one of the most gorgeous of God's creations, a description which would fit the Black Hills as well.

My daughter tried to get the same type of job with the same company in Yellowstone for much the same reasons. Unlike my sister's experience, they had absolutely zero flexibility in modifying their contract dates to meet their seasonal employees semester schedules. Zero.

Which may explain why they import foreign students rather than hiring Americans willing to work but unwilling to make it a career.

Ditto Door county in Wisconsin. Packed with Czech, Polish, Hungarian kids. Meanwhile all you hear is moans from Milwaukee about how there’s no summer jobs for “youth”.
