yeah, there’s a serious argument to be made here that the people in england, USA simply don’t want these kinds of jobs.
then again, the thing isn’t so simple. Why would people in the USA not want these jobs, but mexicans are fine with them? is it because the people are spoiled? is it for other reasons?
Personally, the job itself I wouldn’t mind, but it’s what comes with it. It’s seasonal work. How would I consistently support myself outside the season? How would I get a stable home if I’m living in farm accommodation while working?
In the UK at least, these were often men coming in from the EU. They could send money back home to their families, where it would go further.
A resident Brit with kids to support isn’t going to go for this kind of job. As I said, no stability. They’d have to pay enough to make up for months of no work over winter. Which they can’t do as their margins are already low and supermarkets don’t pay enough and so much produce goes to waste because it’s a bit blemished or wonky.
