There are ways of handling this. In the 60s and 70s my mother ran the State Employment office in the OK Panhandle. It wasn't an Unemployment Office back then. Those receiving unemployment checks had to check in with her (daily I believe) and if she had any jobs that she thought suitable for them she sent them out to apply. If they turned down 3 referrals they were cut off the money. Today, I would include anyone on welfare in a similar system.
On the agriculture side, I would also establish private employment offices at border crossings and allow foreigners to resister and farmer/ranchers to submit job offerings that can not be filled locally. Before that could realistically happen, minimum wage laws would have to be done away with and a personal contract system would be instituted. Given that, every worker could negotiate their own terms to include indentured servitude. For you youngsters that recoil at that term, know that many, if not most, of the early immigrants that came to these shores came via that route. Their passage, room, and board were provided as well as craft apprenticeships in exchange for a given period of service. It's how this great nation was built!
It's being destroyed by the reverse method.
