This one is already hitting in Florida and it isn't supposed to take affect until July 1. Workers are leaving en' mass. They are not in the strawberry fields-they are not on construction sites-they are leaving resorts.
a large percentage of the work in the hospitality, agriculture, construction industry is done by undocumented workers.
Now, we are finally going to see if Americans can or want to do the work that these people do.
Good!
What people don't realize is that the quality of work will be raised significantly if it is done by citizens vs people who are in the USA illegally.
Completely disagree... I want our workers to be documented... but to assume the quality of work by undocumented workers is poor is misguided...
Think it depends on the industry.
I can say that as more and more framing, roofing and drywall crews evolved to more migrant crews, the "quality" of the work definitely suffered. What we can't say for sure though is if that was due to the change in the workers doing the work, the communication gap, the cultural differences in what "quality" may mean, or just a general change in overall quality expectations in the workplace across all industries.
I know most businesses will claim quality is top priority, but I'd argue, getting the project done, on time, sometimes means sacrificing quality. And we are a culture of instant gratification, quality takes time, no one wants to wait for it though.
"I want the product, for the lowest price, with the best quality, and I want it now.", "Well you can pick 2, not all 3."
