I wanted a pool built and went with company that could get the legal labor to building, instead of the company that had the higher price and 3 times the waiting period, after evaluating the marginal difference in installation itself. I talk to contractors a lot, and they say nobody wants to work anymore. Many of them have cut back to smaller jobs they can handle with less people or no other people. It is not all, Hispanic people taking food out of natural born Americans mouths. Today's youth are on the weaker, more pampered side, preferring to learn skills that do not equate with hard physical labor. When I buy, I try to buy American, but I won't buy at half again the price and wait 3 times as long, just because young white and black American borns prefer a softer work environment, not exposed to the elements. I have a contractor that starts in the next week or so. He is good, but been behind. His helper quit after learning what to do, and got a job with the school system, inside, not much pay increase, but much better working conditions and better benefits, but the contractor has not been able to find anybody else, as all want to make what his experienced guy was making. There isn't much starting at the bottom, at the bottom many trade crafts anymore, at least around here. But hey, factories are hiring, paying better and supplying better benifits. These job around here are going to natural born Americans, for the most part.
