Summer hires are still a problem. Business needs the help when lots of people are here, but my grandkids...who have worked at a local food store, only made $7.50 their first year and when we tried to get them to come back a second year, max was $10...and it was a "maybe". Instead the kids can work at home for $13.50. At 40 hrs a week for 8 weeks, that is a difference of an extra $1100 for the summer. Hard to argue, except we continue to advocate for the beauty of being at the lakes region. Seems money will beat out grandpa's campaign !
