If people get hungry enough they'll do anything, but it may take that amount of (literal) hunger before people will suffer through picking strawberries.
In my home town there's a beef processing plant. There has always been a tradition of refugee laborers landing there, for whatever reason. So when they first arrive in the US they'll take those LOUSY but reasonably well paying jobs until they get settled, get promoted or find a slightly better job, and there's no getting them back into the danger and SMELL of the factory floor. I could be all holier than thou about taking that full time job that pays decent and provides full benefits, but really, there's got to be something ANYTHING better than doing that job and I'd be unemployed a good long time for giving in and taking it.
