At a few dozen other sites across the country, day laborers have set minimums, usually $8 or $10. But only at this corner in Agoura Hills, a well-to-do town 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles, experts say, have they been bold enough to insist on $15, nearly three times the federal minimum wage. Some laborers who are particularly skilled at plumbing or hanging drywall get $18 or more.
NYT article, which requires registration or whatever.
California's an expensive place to live. If the folks don't want to pay a skilled laborer $18/hour, they're more than welcome to contact the union local.
