He can't find a guy to drive tractor for him. He's offering $65,000 salary, a work truck, and free housing. I almost told him I'd take the job myself. Just unbelievable, maybe I'm getting old.

Where is this?

Madera, Ca

I know quite a few people that can't find workers for their businesses.  One thought regarding your friend.  Assuming it's in California $65,000 is probably more like around $50,000 in some lower tax/cost of living areas like Florida.  With that being said, that's not bad money for driving a tractor especially with the housing/work truck thrown in.  I would be all over something like that if I wasn't gainfully employed.

The Central Valley is quite a bit lower than what people usually think of as California e.g. SF and La, in terms of cost of living. Obviously, state taxes are a thing but you can live real comfortably on $65k and no mortgage or car payment.
