Okay, I guess they can relocate for awhile.

They are offering $150 a day in Washington State to pick apples, and they can't find enough help. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 18:21 25

      - I agree 100% with that. I was piggy backing off of this thread on a news item somewhat related that I saw today on Facebook. - Bacon Oct 18, 18:38
    - The jobs are also seasonal. You could do it year round if you're willing to travel all year. - the liioulu with Oct 18, 18:28 9
      - This is true. However, unemployment is high now! Currently. If I didn't have any money I would do it. - Bacon Oct 18, 18:30 7
        
        Helped with garden != picking apples as a farm worker -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 18:33 2
        
        I thought the joke was obvious. I guess it wasn't -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 18:34 1
        
        It was just too plausable for me I suppose. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 18:49
        
        And concentration of unemployed is mostly in the urban areas. Fewer people in the rural areas. -- nm - the liioulu with Oct 18, 18:32 3
        
        In Oregon our rural counties are around 15% where the cities are at about 9%. - Bacon Oct 18, 18:34 2
        
        It's 15% of fewer people to begin with. - the liioulu with Oct 18, 18:35 1
        
        Yet, it's not 0% so there are people in those areas to pick fruit. - Bacon Oct 18, 18:36
      - damn seasonal jobs. so not worth it. -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 18, 18:29
  - and pool cleaners! -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 18, 18:26 1
    - And toilet paper salesmen!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 18:26

  - manual labor!? eww -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 18, 18:25
  - Why don't we have robots picking fruit? -- nm - amoxy Oct 18, 18:25 1
