$12 a hour in Kentucky for cutting grass and cannot find workers?

Go to Central Florida and announce that on any corner and see how many workers would be heading for Kentucky.
Yet another myth. People living in impoverished locales or places with poor jobs prospects are frequently emotionally tied to that place place, nonetheless. There are ample decent-paying, low-skill jobs in the DC area, but unemployed folks from West Virginia remain in West Virginia hoping that gainful employment will somehow return there.
