Yes, they will. I have worked in retail and hospitality my entire life - mostly in corporate management - and at $15-20/hr you can get legit quality labor just about everywhere but SF, LA, NYC and Boston

You're talking "Retail" type labor rb22982. Night and day different from hiring farm labor.

[rb22982]

Retail and hospitality and I have many friends in the restaurant business as well. If you think the work pool is different, you are incorrect. The only real difference is 1) Retail/hospitality doesn't employ that many illegals (hospitality probably a bit more) and 2) Farm is more rural, so you have a smaller pool of hourly workers to draw from (but also less competition). Unskilled labor, which it is for both farming/retail/hospitality, under $15/hr can and will go work anywhere to make an extra $0.25, $0.50, $1.00+ hr they can

Amend this sentence a bit

"Unskilled labor, which it is for both farming/retail/hospitality, under $15/hr can and will go work anywhere to make an extra $0.25, $0.50, $1.00+ hr they can, or switch from seasonal/PT to full time jobs
