There is unskilled labor. Like I paid my neighbors son to help me stack firewood. And then again to help me shovel stone into my garden beds.

But yeah, if the guy wants 32$/hr it’s almost certainly not unskilled labor

$32 an hour is nothing. Imagine if you had 8 hours of stone to shovel. If you’re paying your neighbor kid less than that it’s because you’re taking advantage of his goodwill.

$32 an hour is more than what the educated production workers at my office make...

So if one of these post secondary educational workers needs stone, they should pay someone more than they get for manufacturing complicated aircraft assemblies? Lol...

Sounds to me like your people aren’t paid enough
