There's a program from the department of labor called H-2B that you can use to hire ppl from abroad to work in the peak season and go back home. A lot of employers don't know about it and I know plenty of people out there that would die to come here to work legally even for a minimum wage: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/immigration/h2b

h2b kids from europe flood the cape and boston every summer, its a very well known program. a lot of the kids look for jobs out there because its a fun beach or city environment so they can have fun on their days off when not working. There are only so many of those H2b's given out by the government here, so you don't see as many h2b kids working the inland side of things. They're coming here to make money and have fun. source: worked with a bunch when I worked in restaurants on the cape in my 20's. They also make WAY better money than minimum wage when they work their asses off.

It's well known at resorts but that's it. The majority of business owners out of the cape don't really know about it like in construction for example. You can hire ppl with experience and everything. Not limited to kids from Europe just looking to have fun on their school break
