As the owner of an employee leasing company and brokerage, I have seen what people make. I can assure you that wages for roofing workers have remained the same if not lower for the past ten years. While the readers of this board find it a hot and low paying job, people from outside the country are literally dieing to come here and make that 10-12$ an hour.

Fact is that if you pay workers' cash, you save not only on insurance but you do not have to pay taxes (Social Security, Federal Income Tax, Unemployment Tax etc.). The worker getting cash does not pay taxes, and everyone makes more money... Until some one gets hurt....

Uninsured companies do so for greed....
