Lotta talk... but I'm wondering if he'd work 48hrs/week in the blazing sun for
on average $6.73/hour. According to today's statistics, if a head a lettuce
sold for $1 the workers would see 0.3% of that or or 3/10's of a penny. Federal
gidelines state 10,830/year is poverty level. PLanting and picking season lasts
about 32-34 weeks... you do the math.
Talk is cheap... look at the source.
