Casual Laborers and Workers
at PTW
Casual laborers are women and men without full-time jobs who seek temporary work to support themselves and their families. This type of employment activity has always existed, but the number of people forced into casual labor has increased in recent years. Casual labor pickup sites at street corners, vacant lots and shopping centers have proliferated and are now common in urban communities.
In the Morristown area, the majority of
casual laborers are immigrants and
refugees from Latin America, but some are
born in the U.S. All look for jobs with fair
wages and employers who treat them with
respect.
