Question of the Day: How Do We Get the Unemployed to Help With Hurricane Recovery?

In the wake of Hurricane Harvey’s landfall in Texas and Louisiana, many contractors were bemoaning the fact that even with the undocumented workers that they usually employed, there still wasn’t going to be enough help to raze and reclaim and rebuild hurricane damaged properties. I am guessing it will be the same in Florida, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

So how do we get the unemployed in Milwaukee and Detroit and Appalachia hooked up with jobs doing recovery work in hurricane alley?
