Couldn't really fit into the title what I wanted to say.
How much does it cost to hire a parking lot laborer in your area?
I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but in Washington there are Hispanic workers gathered every morning in Home Depot parking lots, if you need some labor you stop by, negotiate a price and pick one up for the day.
A contractor friend of mine does it occasionally. He just told me that the minimum you can get one of the guys for now is $25 an hour cash, they won't work over 8 hours, you provide lunch, and you can't push them. He said he sent one of his Mexicans up there to see if they could get a better deal; no way, that's the going rate.
Who says the economy isn't doing well.
I'm thinking of a career change!!!

Been like that a while. Anybody that takes less wont do it twice. Kind of like their own union enforcement.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Hmmm. I wonder how many coons they could skin and flesh in an hour.

I have an employee who makes $25 an hour all on the books, by the time I pay taxes, work comp etc he cost me right around $41 per hour. I try and do things right, legal, but how could I compete with a company who saves $16 an hour on labor by hiring off the books and paying cash? These guys hiring off the books labor for cash are gaming the system and there doesnt seem to be any real consequences for it. That seems awfully high. Our employees cost us 11.5% more than their hourly wage. That $25hr employee would cost us $27.88.

$25 cash, ie: no taxes to help pay for all the free stuff they get, and most of the money goes back to Mexico.

They each likely cash a few welfare cheques every week too under several different names\ID's. The people hiring these scammers are worse than the scammers.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Jeez Pike River - 11.5 %. My workmans compensation is more than that! Matching social security is 7.65%. Liabiity insurance per worker. Unemployment compensation . Federal unemployment. Paid vacations and vacation pay is 5 percent or more depending on years of service. Partial healthcare payments if provided. Book keeping costs to keep track of all employee expenses and paperwork involved. Plus a bunch of small misc. expenses. 50% is about a break even number. And you don't run a business on break even.

Contractors who I know who hire these guys would gladly hire a more permanent type of worker, but there are none around here; especially white guys, if you do find one they are lazy, whiny, and don't have any skills.
