Do day laborers want fulltime jobs, or do they prefer to work day by day in different jobs?
Most day laborers want full-time work. Most do obtain long term work for weeks or months, and return to day labor when this work runs out. Over 700 day laborers have obtained full-time work at the Glendale Skilled Worker Center since it opened. Moreover, many day laborers are very skilled at certain jobs (such as carpentry, plumbing, and painting) and some are masters. The stereotype that day laborers are unskilled is false, as is the stereotype that all day laborers prefer daily work to fulltime work.
