I live in Miami and most business more or less hospitality have hired Argentinians instead of locals. The new slave labor.

I have worked in hotels for quite a few years and more recently noticed that a lot of people in hotels housekeeping to front desk and resturaunt hostesses are all Argentinian. They are the new minority exploited for labor often from agencies and having no papers and often being paid below market rate which is inherently predatory within itself. A hotel I left an overnight desk agent from an agency was being paid 15 while from the actual company was closer to 20 an hour. The last job I worked my replacement also from an agency makes 14 while agents directly employed I believe are either at 16/17. Even with these poor increases in salary hotels are not full staffed and are more empty then ever. I hope the trend continues and pushes these business to pay more or go out of business. Does any one notice these trends in…

Does any one notice these trends in their cities?
