Donald Trump will hire foreign workers to staff the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla., this winter — as he did last year.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Trump won approval from the U.S. Labor Department in October to hire 64 foreign workers through the H-2B visa program, which allows eligible U.S. employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary jobs.
Trump hired 69 workers through the same program last year.
..."It's very, very hard to get people," Trump said when questioned about it at a March presidential debate.
"Other hotels do the exact same thing."
Trump will hire 19 cooks at $12.74 an hour, down from $13.01 an hour last year.
Mar-a-Lago will hire 30 waiters and waitresses at $11.13 an hour, a 14 cent increase from last year, and 15 housekeepers at $10.17 an hour, a 10 cent increase from last year.
