Subject: Re: Where we're going from here
A job that pays less than the median is a job that nobody wants to pay a high wage for. There is a reason that nobody pays $200 to get his lawn mowed.

It is not what people want to pay, it is what you have to pay to find someone to do the work. In our expensive boom town we pay $180 a week for mowing and gardening. We had an undocumented lady cleaning for years. We paid her to stay home during Covid. We paid her to just do a walk through when we were on vacation. She told us she had more work than she could handle at $50 an hour. We offered her $45 and she quit.
