Default fl labor

The costs of labor in florida are so low because it is a right to work state, which precludes the establishment of labor unions. Unoins in other areas keep living standards and wages higher. The other influence is a high percentage of undocumented workers working for cash, which also keeps wages low. When you hire someone to work on your home, you should ask for a copy of their workers compensation insurance certificate. This assures that all workers are covered, and may help you avoid liability claims if there is an injury on your property.
