Grace i completely agree with what your husband is experiencing in his field. This also extends into the financial fields too. Where i feel the impact is not being made is in base jobs sewing factories restaurant workers who are terribly underpaid. There was an article i picked up about NY where they were using illegal immigrants to help as they had no way of obtaining help for the wages offered. The wages for this help worked out to be about 7.77 an hour which i feel is fair from my sight of LA's scale. These people would not be considered as part of employment figures. There are numerous jobs in the under table world some pay more than fairly due to their tax exempt status others totally use people. There is a gap forming at this present time the demand placed on those in numerous administration jobs is causing lack of, off job hours. The consequence is less do it yourself projects and more hire someone else to get it done. It is small scale in comparison with commercial but it is having an impact.
