I think this unfortunate phenomenon has as much to do with market forces as it does with laziness. Oly, you need to train you up some Mexicans. Americans can make more on the dole than they can at entry level wages in the trades. That's what's happened in the construction trades over the last 15 years. Try to find an American who's willing to pick up a trowel and sweat his a$$ off finishing concrete for a day's wages. Everyone wants to start out in management. There are still some folks out there with a work ethic, but even in this economy, they've already got jobs.
