RVers Take to Road seeking temporary work

With the downturn in the economy, RVers are setting up camp all over the USA seeking work and going to live where the work is found.  In Kentucy, Amazon. com has even BUILT AN RV PARK for workampers who are helping with Christmas shipments.

I saw this story on ABC World News with Diane Sawyer earlier this evening.

  1. Interesting story, thanks John!

    IIRC, most "Workamper" jobs pay significantly less than $15/hour, and some do not include free rent and utilities. As one of the guys interviewed said, "It's a great deal".
