For the past twenty years SEEC staff has been assisting day laborers who have congregated in Shirlington to find temporary employment and for local residents to find temporary help. The location where the day laborers have been congregating, located at the corner of Shirlington Road and South 27th Street will be closed in September 2020. The SEEC Office which was located nearby has been relocated to the Arlington Mill Community Center, Suite 422. SEEC will continue to serve Arlington’s day laborers at the new location.

Employers and local residents seeking temporary help with small jobs for moving, general clean up, painting and landscape, should call the SEEC office for assistance at 703-933-1101.

General guidelines for payment

For basic labor jobs, payment of $15 per hour with a four hour minimum is recommended. For more skilled jobs, $20 per jobs are recommended. It is also recommended that the workers be provided lunch if the work exceeds four hours. Please remember that these are not full time jobs. For most workers these jobs may be the only one they get for the day or the week, so please be generous.

Types of jobs

The work to be performed can vary from construction work to yard work and handy-man related jobs. If there is a need for work to be done, we will find a worker!

During this past fiscal year, the day laborers went out on a total of 2,133 jobs from the Pavilion and the SEEC office. Some of these jobs consisted of moving jobs, landscape and construction. Some of the jobs lasted a few hours, but many lasted several days, while a number of them became permanent hires.
