23. You're right on! This isn't just happening in the high tech fields.
My husband is a home builder and we have men, who have been carpenters, plumbers, landscapers for thirty years, stopping by and asking if we have a project going they can work on. Cheap labor, as I see it, only benefits the contractor, not the home owner. It's greed no matter what industry is effected. The hourly rate for skilled workers has dropped too, that is for the ones who do find work.
