This work paid $10-$20 an hour the last 25 years.
I'm a poor who made a lot of money in last four years. I can only imagine how much smarter people with more than minimum wage made during the same time.

What jobs are those? care to elaborate or share a link?

Are you talking about housecleaning or caregiving? $40/hr would be $1600 a week, $83,200 a year. Not seeing those jobs going unfilled.

maybe housecleaning- jeez, I cant hire anyone to come clean and the one quote I got was $300 biweekly for a 2000 sq. foot home. And our house is less messy than it used to be with all olde kids in school full time.

Um no. Immigrants are filling jobs. We need immigration for a healthy economy and for people to pay into SS to support the boomers.

As an economist said, immigrants are filling jobs that nobody else wants AT THAT PAY SCALE.
There was a time when Americans (black and white) worked in, say, chicken processing plants. It provided a livable wage. Today, no American wants those jobs because it doesn't pay enough for the work expected. And because there are people (immigrants) willing to accept the low pay scale, the wages stay depressed.
There was a time when American kids mowed the neighborhood lawns and delivered newspapers. Today, lawncare is done by immigrants and nobody encourages their child perform labor associated with that socioeconomic group. Instead, homeowners will encourage their children to go for internships at Blackrock and bypass entrepreneurial experimentation. And the local coupon newsprint is flung out of a van driven by an immigrant mom and pop couple onto the properties of people who don't want the coupons littering their property.

Your examples seem a little off. People stopped having kids mow their lawns more because of liability concerns than parents having their 13-15 year olds do internships. Paper newspaper delivery has cratered with on line news. And meat packing has long been low-paid, horrible work, with a terrible health and safety record and mainly taken on by immigrants since the late 1800s.

The idea of kids delivering newspapers died in the late 1980s. I tried to get a paper route in high school but they had completely been taken over by retirees.
