There will always be people willing to work for money, and restaurant work is one of the more accessible jobs out there. Used to be HS/college student work in the US but kids today are too lazy to work hard for 15 bucks an hour. So now it's immigrant jobs, who left the misery of their home country for the chance of a better life in their new country. It's the same the world over.
A friend of mine works for a labor hire business, day gigs, last minute replacements, etc. He says it's really difficult to get young people to commit to their assignments, even for 20 bucks an hour. They say yes, then hear of a party somewhere and ditch the job... More and more restaurants, caterers, warehouse jobs are contracted out to companies like his, to unload the hr nightmare and OSHA requirements and are willing to pay a 30% premium for it.
A lot of barely educated 16 to 25 year olds like working gigs from time to time around their activities. They'll work 20 to 25 hours a week and make enough money for drugs and beer.
