With over a million on the dole shouldn’t be a problem filling those vacencies with the incentive of if those vacencies local to you then kiss your dole benefits goodbye get of your lazy arse and do some work

I would guess that unemployment tends more to be an inner-city and post-industrial town phenomenon whereas agriculture by its very nature is a rural activity.

And that’s why God created mini buses.

Up to a point, but fruit and vegetable picking is also gruelling, back-breaking work- I’ve done my fair share of it in the past- and the overwhelming majority of people over the age of 30 would not be able to do it- I’m reasonably fit for my age (61) but there’s no way I’d be able to do it any more. If I was signing on, the Dole Office might as well tell me I had to take a job as a Chinese translator. :wink:
