McCain says the Americans simply won't pick lettuce an entire season in Yuma, AZ for $50/hour. Any thoughts?

Don't be mean. Economy is not his strong suit... And neither is being in touch with reality. Warning! Obligatory comment on jobs that don't pay as well as picking lettuce for $50: My husband is the quality control manager as well as assistant lab manager (conflict of interest, definitely... it's a small company and they skirt such things :) ) of a high tech lab. In addition, he works on the bench and bills out around $100,000 a month with a record of $236,000. GUESS WHAT HE MAKES LESS THAN AN HOUR!?
So, yeah, sweeten the deal for American workers just a little and one will find any sector "hard up for workers" being filled: basic economics.
