You get what you pay for.
And even if you can get someone to work for below prevailing wage, you run a high risk of employee theft. I've seen it many times. It's especially common in a service business where a bartender, landscaper, car detailer, whatever, can cut a break for a customer and make a larger tip or take on side work and get paid in cash. In fact, I'm having my wife's Mini's windows tinted on Thurs. with a house call. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy would do my 993 too for a steep discount in cash and then not report it to the boss.
