POLL: Would You Pick Strawberries?
Pajaro Valley farmers are in desperate need of help. Would you work in the fields?
Jennifer Squires' Patch story today detailed the trouble farmers are facing finding workers to pick crops.
The problem is so bad, Squires reports, that workers are clocking major overtime and fields full of ripe fruit and vegetables are being tilled under. Meanwhile, the area faces a 20 percent unemployment rate.
If you are or were unemployed, would you apply for these jobs? Why or why not?
