To get an idea...ask anyone here who outsources!
Actually they did a story on this on CNN. They said that people claiming fruits and veggies would go way up in price is a myth. They said if veggie farmers doubled or in some cases even tripled wages to get them to a point where a lot of different people would be willing to do that job it would cost the average american family about $50 more per year.
