They had been summoned by a viral video on TikTok. “If you want to know what 350,000 pounds of wasted food looks like, let me show you,” Shay Myers told his followers in the video, which by then had been viewed 2.7 million times. Myers, CEO of Owyhee Produce, a family farm with fields on both sides of the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon, stood amid what he said was 35 acres of asparagus that wouldn’t be harvested because the visas he had requested for migrant farm workers had been delayed and he couldn’t find enough local workers, despite paying $16 an hour.

We must fill labor gaps in Pennsylvania

We must fill labor gaps in Pennsylvania © Provided by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette As we rebuild from COVID-19, restaurants in Pennsylvania as well as our state’s manufacturers and even the transportation sector are having trouble finding workers. As we continue our recovery, it is imperative that we tap into available resources to fill labor gaps, including recognizing undocumented immigrants who have long supported Pennsylvania industries. Take farming as an example. Today, immigrants make up an estimated 73% of U.S. agriculture workers with 11% of the industry being made up of undocumented immigrants but our nation has failed to fix immigration system issues that have resulted in decades of legal uncertainty for individuals who pay taxes and are considered essential in our COVID-19 response. In fact, more than 70,000 undocumented immigrants in Pennsylvania are essential workers, contributing millions in state and local taxes annually.
