I wonder if any of the bright people on here heard the woman say that they paid BETWEEN $12-18 and hour for the job? These are the same people that go to college and demand a 6 figure salary out the door because they are too good for anything less then complete comfort. But, they don't get that its a fare wage for a simple job. Hard work, but a job that needs maybe a day of training. Most of the people on here would work for $12-18 an hour if it was an indoor low impact job that they had to put very little effort into, but the fact remains that there are jobs that require more effort but still are not deserving of higher pay because there is no skill or experience required. If we base salary on effort of work, then all of the business management, psychology degree, liberal arts majors and the like should earn pennies on the dollar compared to these people. Because they don't do anything close to work compared to these people.

pine cone Hallelujah..Woman you r the wise one! Adding to yours is these high priced folk are also fake as heck and not all actually have the college degree the pose to have. Hate lawyer N psycho counselor...

[@randomtask3539]

"not deserving of higher pay because there is no skill or experience required" Scarcity determines wages. The only effect skill and experience have on wages is that the skill and/or experience required for a job may affect the amount of people able to do that job. Basic supply and demand.

[@QuietStormX]

Hey if they can't get Non American Workers then, too bad for them trying to save a business off cheap labor and wanting to expand too? ;-( Abusing the H-2B Visa system at our expense... I bet they don't pay for support or benefits while here...

[@jimmybon9314]

Why would they even pay benefits? Its indentured servitude.

[@jools2323]

The US doesn't have a job problem. It has a wage problem.

[@jedadruled984]

The US has a welfare problem.

[@jordanheeren1424]

actually as the guy explained in the video, the workers make decent wage , its just americans are to whiny about "tham mexicuns steel yur jurbs"

[@e.theresebradley5966]

jools2323 Exactly...

[@TheMcKenzieHaus]

It's crazy to me how ppl think $12 is enough. Maybe cost of living in Mexico is significantly lower and $12 is great but I deff aint netting fish and picking crabs all day for $12 an hour with overtme. $12 is barely 30K a year. Once again, companies do not want to pay ppl what they are worth.

[@Eusantdac]

Not only that it's $12 an hour but it's hard work and You have to move fast. It's not like a walk in the park. Same with picking oranges. Americans can't work as fast and be as productive as Mexican workers. Hell, You can;t put me out there for more than a few hours then, I'll want a half hour break, some ice-cold lemonade and some air-conditioning lol

[@e.theresebradley5966]

C.L Mckenzie Exactly..I don't feel sorry for them I love it..God is good. I'm sadden for the hard Mexican worker's..

[@e.theresebradley5966]

All you said was pure truth .

[@odtandthebackupplan]

These people need to hire their family's.

[@e.theresebradley5966]

Orvin Thompson Right, she said she wants her daughter to have the farm so good now get that little spoiled brat in to start picking crab for her inheritance.. ..

[@PinkLlamaGrl]

Thanks Dump!

[@kevinhofferth6097]

Well a lb of lump crab is $28 right now in Florida maybe pay someone $15-$20 an hr plus 25 cents a lb watch it work🦀

[@karendolby675]

Go for it

[@lottoaddict1774]

Ask trump, he has workers at mar lago

[@thomahawk3393]

So glad I work at a plants farm and not a part of animal ag, those jobs are traumitizing.

[@bigfatbaataed]

I can think of one problem with taking seasonal work is even if an employer provides healthcare what happens at the end of the season no work & no healthcare, just have to hope you don't get sick in the off season...

[@e.theresebradley5966]

Keith Wood They gave no health care??

[@michaelkuhn8929]

Pay a living wage and you can get US workers. And I dont have to pay the difference.

[@xLymonx]

Undocumented are out, now go to work Americans!!

[@e.theresebradley5966]

Lymon Nguyen Right , all these whinny America keeps complaining, "Oh the Mexicans are taking all of our jobs" Waah, Waah, Ok now what?? Here's a job lazy F-ks...

[@heatherjones5983]

Happy Phillips can put up a building in Mexico and have Mexicans hand pick crabs for him, but the pace of automation is accelerating... robots will be able to do this job soon. Latin America is even less prepared for the future of automation than we are up here in the US.

[@indokeren3311]

I LOVE CRAB CAKES.

[@ganiyathamzat7106]

Nice willing to work here. Plz send name of the company, I will like to move down from Lawrence, location of this place in Maryland. Tx

[@e.theresebradley5966]

Ganiyat Hamzat Lol

[@docjonski2257]

Get Trump to pick these crabs!

[@codyor4483]

I agree that if those affected positions paid a "Living" wage, it would be so much better for everyone. However, what people don't understand that if these jobs paid $12.00 an hour for example, A pound of crab would cost $48.00.. and consumers just wont or cant afford to pay that. Same with Farming. Who wants to pay $5.00 for a tomato? Its a huge problem. The other problem is that "Amerians" don't want to do that type of manual dirty work anymore... and farming of all types and in the end the consumer, me and you will feel the effect.

[@Jayday12345678910]

The minimum wage in MD is 12.50

[@parkerhammarlund3824]

WASSUP PLP

[@e.theresebradley5966]

[@changingoftheguard7256]

[@fbabdiver]

[@longho2419]

Visa workers part of solve problems of illegal imigrant, keep American company in America. Medicare for All, Education for All, minimum wages raise to living wages. Wealth together for Americans and visa workers.
