Duane- I see it too, although you didn't ask me. Basically, for the businesses I know, anyone who is the person you really want to hire, is already overpaid doing something else, because there is a shortage of skilled people; not people in general. The only way to keeps costs in line is to get foreigners to do the work, either by outsourcing the job to India, or China, or by hiring immigrants to USA. Americans with limited skills won't work for a wage that is commensurate with their skills, nor logical for a small business (where the CEO doesn't fly in his personal Gulfstream 5). Foreigners are not inebriated by consumerism, as are Americans (workers AND CEO's)
