As an American white guy I always wanted to pick apples for minimum wage but I could never get a job because they were all taken by illegals said no American white guy ever.

I worked in an un-air conditioned factory one summer as a teenager. It was a fairly nice place as 1960’s factories go, but it was hard, boring, dirty textile work.

I stopped complaining once I realized how futile it was.

farm wage laws usually allow below minimum wage.

I had no trouble getting work picking fruit or working in a factory. Very hard work, very low wages, but I needed it to put myself through school. The employee turnover rate is high (many can't do the work). They almost always need people. Picking is less than minimum wage, they pay by the pound.
