Local Economy Signals Change as Harvest Winds Down
Kern County faces a winding agricultural season with wage debates and penalties totaling 43,200 dollars in civil actions while 369 workers receive 39,654 dollars in back pay. CIRS accuses some growers of masking a raisin glut to push for a federal guest worker program, citing wage adjustments from 17 to 19 cents per tray to 35.5 cents to keep up with living costs. Labor Day sales rose, stock markets fluctuated, and NFIB urged Gov. Wilson to veto two small business cost-raising bills totaling hundreds of millions.
