Part-time seasonal jobs in Southeast Florida (or most resort areas) are very hard to fill. We could simply kill that particular program and employers would have to pay enough to get decent employees (and also pay through the nose when they go on unemployment in the offseason), but you can’t expect one employer to pass on the more cost effective, legal option when its competitors are taking advantage of it.
