I have hired field workers in the past. You might think anyone and everyone can pick beans. They can’t. Or pick strawberries. They can’t.
I hired a yard worker once who weeded one square foot in an hour. I did some math for him. At $10 an hour times 44,000 square feet, it would cost me $440,000 to weed my yard. Did that seem reasonable? He’s now working for Hawaii County.
It’s not skilled labor, but yet not everyone is capable of doing those jobs.
