More unemployed men looking for "pick-up" work

I have lived in Clinton Hill for 30 years, in the early '90's you could often find men to help do things like shovel your walk or carry home "street finds" (cool furniture) and in the past few years it had become almost impossible to find casual help. But since late November I am approached almost daily by men who would like to help me sweep or shovel my walk, clean out my garden, unload groceries from my car or even just asking me if I had any odd jobs for them - I often do hire them, but the whole thing feels very "bother can you spare a dime"...
