I love the subject line of your post!
My feelings exactly.
Labor has been the biggest hassle I have had in my business.
We do all the good stuff: repect, good pay, training, opportunities, get them vested in their part of the job, etc, etc.
I have run ads in papers, posted jobs in supermarkets, churches, community college, university, online, etc.
The only way I have found laborers is thru my other latino workers. Found a couple of great gardeners through the community college.
My foreman quit a few weeks into the season and I have had it! If I could do the physical work myself I would feel confident that we could meet our obligations and fulfil our contracts. However, I can't do that so I am putting my maintenance biz up for sale.
