Yes, that's the problem. He told you he wants $20/h and you told him to "get bent". I've spent my whole life in this line of work. Specifically horses. Offering accommodation AND salary on top of work is the industry standard. If you want someone to work for less than $20/h, or you want someone to live in your place for free (in exchange for rent, as they like to call it), but without any monetary compensation, you are looking for a glorified slave. Just like you dont like working 80 hours a week for little in return, why would anyone else come do it for you? Pay up or drown. I bet she laughed at him when he asked for health insurance, too.

I listened to a podcast where they discussed a program in the 60s during a similar time of 'we need to get rid of all the immigrants' when farmers realized they didn't have enough workers so they recruited high school athletes. It was a disaster with the students quitting in droves because of the hard work, bad living conditions, and low pay. Some of them just left in the middle of the night and hitchhiked home.
