Some farmers in California are having a hard time picking their crops. There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.
One farmer used to grow peaches, but will soon grow almonds (杏仁) instead. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are easy to be damaged and need careful hand picking. He is now removing his peach trees. Then he will plant almond tress in their places. Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees. The nuts fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers.
Some farmers think there are two reasons why they can’t find enough farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of well-paid construction jobs in the area. Many people are taking these jobs instead of picking fruit. The other reason is that it has become more difficult for workers to come from Mexico into California. Fewer workers are allowed to get into the country to work on the fruit farms. To settle the problem, farmers hope the government might allow these workers to work as guests. That would help workers provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops. When the harvest season is over they will go back home. Farmers say that unless things change, more fruits will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in those countries than in the United States.

Nineteen-year-old Melissa Goza couldn’t figure out why she failed to get a bank card time and time again. It only became clear when she was unsuccessful while looking for a new job in a Target store: Three different people are using her Social Security number (社会保障号).
Target is one of the companies using credit (信用) reports when hiring new workers. At least one credit report didn’t favor Goza in getting the job. A very low credit rate (评价) was under Goza’s Social Security number. Target, as required by law, told Goza why the company couldn’t offer her the job.
Sacramento lawyer Jennifer Shaw, a specialist in workplace law, says credit reports are just one more way employers use to find dishonest job seekers. “I think we need to know that, right now, there’s more information out there. And that means, there’s more information that can be used against us,” said Shaw.
Goza’s dark cloud may, however, have a silver lining. Target told her she’d be considered again for the job if she could get a letter from the Social Security Department proving that she’s the right owner of the Social Security number.
Now that Goza knows she’s suffered from other people’s wrongdoings, she will order copies of her credit reports to see what she can do to put things right.
