the Cost of Day Laborers and Temporary Workers

To help get some gardening done, which I like to do my self, I hired some temporary workers to help get some of the dirty work done. I hired two employees from a local temporary employment office. I paid $10 an hour, per employee. I ended up with two employees for five hours a day for two days. The total for the service was $200. There some addtional fees, and taxes which came to about $35, for a grand total of $235

I didn't get skilled workers, just general labor employees. I had to babysit them, and keep them working the whole time. I don't know how much the temporary office paid them, but they gave me minimum wage quality work. If I have to use this service again, i'm going with employees that are skilled or at least have some sort of experience with gardening. But on this occasion, I chose to pay less and got less for doing so.

You get what you pay for here. If you want skilled labor, you're going to have to pay more. If you just need some easy stuff done, go ahead and get the cheaper package, but you will get what you pay for.
