[QUOTE="eric, post: 41031, member: 7"] And a lot of those jobs are "beneath" what many Americans would be willing to do. They may whine about no jobs, but it seems very few people want those lower paying low prestige type of jobs. dun[/quote] Which I can not understand for the life of me either! Back when we were building our house, I did the general contracting thing myself, so I dealt with these folks everyday. The guys who did the concrete, framing, bricklaying and drywall were all Hispanic laborers. I paid these guys quite a bit of money, as I am sure most home builders do, and I dont understand why more young guys dont get into this line of work anymore. A guy can make $15-$20 bucks an hr easily doing these jobs! Heck the framers framed my house in about 2 1/2 weeks and made almost $19K! It was a foreman and about 6 helpers, and one of them was a woman. They made her get on the rafters since she had the smallest feet and best balance! Maybe the same reason we cant find any one who wants to be machinists anymore. Noone wants to work hard and actually get a little dirty and sweaty nowadays! But there is still some good money to be made if a man learns a trade and gets good at it! [/QUOTE]
