There is a deficit in those capable of doing special trades. Also a deficit of people willing to work. You want a boat, car and house? Good lord, check indeed or the local newspaper. The economy is doing great and jobs can’t be filled fast enough. That problem in some way will slow this growth down. I guess welfare and Obamacare is still too enticing to get some to walk outside and get something better. Middle class is not something that is given too anyone.
