Do they pay livable wages? Or are they just sweat shops dressed up?
No. Yes.
Lots of manufacturing operations are terrible to work for, but there is a general gap in the manufacturing labor pool in the US. I've worked at a handful of different shops over the years, and most places I've been have offered decent bonuses for recruitment referrals because they struggled to find people. Even the places that paid decent and were aright to work at.
Simple supply and demand.. They are not willing to pay enough for their workers
Have they considered paying a living wage?
Because Americans expect a good wage for the work they do(even if they never have it), these companies and farms hire people from out of the country because they know they can trick them into accepting shit for pay for WAY more work than a bunch of other jobs that expect less of you but pay you minimum wage atleast.
The jobs in wierd locations like depth of Mississippi or a death valley?
Why is this marked as NSFW?
Look at OPs instance, they are probably being auto flagged.
