A recent study conducted by DayLabor.org concludes that there is a significant lack in online resources for day laborers looking for work. Day laborers are typically thought of as low skilled workers who will do anything for a buck, but there are many skilled individuals who do manual and skilled labor during the day that could benefit from in increase in day labor resources on the internet.

It doesn't take more than a few search engine queries to realize that there is little to nothing out there on the web catering to the needs of day laborers. All you find is a blend of academic research, government statistics, a few job service oriented websites, and a handful of anti-illegal alien sites. This leaves day laborers left with having to start their own site or use obsolete classified advertising services to promote themselves online.

The new DayLabor.org aims to fill the online gap between day laborers standing on the corner waiting for work and employers who are so desperate to find workers that they will pick up any random dude they find on the street to do it. If successful this website will help employers connect with the labor they need ahead of time to assure them a higher level of quality work and convenience.

And they still lack online resources because you keep dilly dallying with CSS and nit picking at other features to just finish this site and get it live. Nobody cares about fancy formatting on classified ad sites anyway, if they did most leading classified ad sites would lose users just for being ugly.
