Jim Willie- I find the quote about labor market extending into Canada and Mexico very...shall I say, comforting. However, the Mexican connection really only affects manufacturing. Do you agree? I live on the west coast and it has been TOUGH for my company to get able-bodied administrative and technical types for almost 4 yrs now. Same in Seattle. Same in Portland. To a lesser extent it the same in LA but it's still hard to find qualified people. The only way is to pay them quite a bit more than we did in '95. To the extent that services and skilled trades (technical) are not exportable, I see the labor market as tight. Curious as to your view on this pre/post manufacuring-centric split. TIA -Darin
