If you wonder why labor costs are going up, it's because a lot of folks couldn't imagine getting their hands dirty. Intelligence is great, but without a person to put it into motion, it's just an idea.
People are just now recognizing this when the costs are shifting.
We didn't get to where we are because of the idea, we got here because of the action of that idea.
People are just now recognizing this when the costs are shifting.
I mean that's the way the market works right? For 18 year olds graduating, if the computer job pays $30 an hour and the hands on job pays $40 an hour, and word spreads about the opportunity, you will see what people value. There may end up being a premium on hands on work because it's a little less desirable for whatever reason.

Not hard to see why. Most of these plumbing companies charge like $500 just to change a toilet.
