MIAMI - Florida’s so-called “toughest in the nation” immigration law takes effect July 1st, and there’s concern it could cause a major agriculture and construction labor shortage.

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Florida already has 53 available workers for every 100 open jobs, landing the state in the “more severe” category of labor shortage.

    You already have plenty of workers, just not ones wiling to work for low wages. The only change is certain things are going to cost more.

      lol telling american businesses to pay living wages is like to telling an alcoholic to stop drinking. They’re going to open employment to like 6 year olds.

        Maybe, but that’s also illegal.

          I don’t think this bothers US businesses much, likely they’ll legalize it.
