I would say this is true, or generally true, if the pay for the trades stays where it is. If plumbers start making $80k+ out of school, and master plumbers start making $200k+, etc. many would leave their inside jobs for construction.

Americans are not going to leave AC and a nice office for $18 an hour.

I wasn't talking about the trades. I was talking about farm labor, general manual labor, etc.

Think farms, dairy, meat packing, etc. Entry level positions that americans will not go anywhere near.

Bingo, again. If you pay them, they will come.

We won't pay them because we are hooked on the idea shareholders deserve everything.
