British Farm Looking for Workers: Attractive Salary for Cabbage Picking

A British farm is seeking workers to pick cabbage, offering a salary of up to £62,000, approximately $84,000. The company "T.H. Clemens" posted an online advertisement for a job that pays £30 per hour ($40), with a yearly salary of £62,000, for collecting cabbage and broccoli. According to the British newspaper "Express," the salary may increase depending on the worker's harvesting rate, potentially exceeding the stated amount. The paper attributed such a generous salary to a significant shortage of workers in fruit and vegetable picking. This job announcement comes amid reports of a shortage of 90,000 truck drivers. To address this shortage, the UK has issued 10,500 temporary visas for truck drivers to prevent a crisis during the upcoming Christmas season.
