Florida is cracking down on companies that hire illegal immigrants with new law.
Florida is cracking down on companies that hire illegal immigrants with new law.
Florida already has 53 available workers for every 100 open jobs, landing the state in the "more severe" category of labor shortage
Saw this on /c/leopardsatemyface but it belongs here. It's a step in the right direction.
A step in the right direction how? Florida crops are rotting on the vine and construction work has ground to a sudden halt. The impact to Florida's economy is going to be dramatic and devastating.
It's a minor jolt. Companies are going to have to start offering good wages or die out. This is very good for workers.
Meanwhile, crops rot on the vine, food prices will rise, farms will go bankrupt. real estate is nose diving, and Florida continues to fall further into the bottom third of states in every ranking that counts.
By no measure is it a 'minor jolt', and that statement reveals your complete ignorance of the magnitude of the situation. We're talking almost the ENTIRE FLORIDA CITRUS CROP - there's no one to harvest it. You think they're going to somehow raise wages and magically workers willing to do that work will appear? /facepalm
