Part 2/10:
Unlike traditional hourly wage jobs, tree planting operates on a "piece work" payment system. This model compensates workers based on the volume of trees they plant, creating a direct correlation between effort and earnings. In this context, if a planter takes it easy and plants only 1,500 trees in a day, they might earn approximately $200. In contrast, a dedicated worker who plants 2,000 trees can make around $300, and someone who pushes themselves to plant 3,000 trees could earn nearly $400 in a single day. The piece work model is designed to reward hard work, ensuring that diligent workers earn significantly more than those who are less motivated.
