To pretend this is a black hole that the market won't correct is absurd.

Most of the people I hear concerned (outside of this message board and a few retirees) are small business owners/managers. These are friends and employees they're losing. And there's not a great labor market out there in the lower/lower middle income brackets. The number one complaint I hear through my role with the Chamber of Commerce and through my job is the lack of hirable employees. One of the biggest reasons I hear for going out of business is labor. They can't find enough of it to work consistently or not enough to work cheaply. The market, at least in my area, hasn't done anything to fix that.

Of course, maybe some of that is just Kentucky, where the drug problem is making things pretty rough.
