Unfortunately for the industrial worker, there is no compensatory factors to soak up their increased supply.

My husband works in the construction industry, he pretty much has to hire anyone with a pulse. In fact, so many of his semi-skilled and skilled workers are being imported from other countries, he has become quite fluent in Spanish. He also gets a lot of guys on work release and ones that have to pee into a cup as a condition of employment. If anything, we have a shortage of the less skilled right now. These jobs he offers are not bottom of the pay scale either, in comparison to say, retail rates they are quite good.
