On the ground here in northern New England, we can't find enough warm bodies to do $25-$30 an hour plus benefits work. There's simply none to be had unless you poach someone else's staff. Unemployment is effectively zero and those who are unemployed in most cases aren't employable. If TX doesn't want them, send them up here. Winters can be dicey and housing a bit difficult, but they've got their choice of good, decent jobs. Just show up when you're scheduled and do the work. That's all we ask.
