The construction company my husband works for tries to hire Americans because it helps when the workers on the site can speak English, but very few apply that can pass the mandatory drug tests. Consequently his Spanish is getting better and better. His guys make anywhere from 15/hour to push a broom to 35/hour for a guy who can handle some tools. Recently a good friend told me he was desperate for regular work because he is continually sinking in debt. He asked me if I had any ideas. I told him I knew John's company was always looking for guys, they can't keep enough guys on the site and keep running into situations where everyone is working too much overtime. I told him he'd be able to get a decent wage because he has a lot of construction experience and he can speak a little Spanish. As soon as I said that my friend said, "I don't know if I could show up every day at 7am. I'm really spoiled these days." I think I said, "Yeah I guess it's easier to continue paying off your credit cards with new ones."
