your assertions cannot be true "en masse" or the average wage figure would be taking a serious dive, which it isn't.

The article says, and I agree, that single cases where someone goes out long term or must accept a lower paying job after a loss are there..but that is NOT the majority case otherwise there would be support for that in the loss of average wage..and that hasn't occurred.

And the exact opposite case for healthcare workers is going on here. There is a severe shortage of qualified workers. RN wages are up substantially and the contractors are being added to the workforce to spell the workers already there.

Met a man in Ireland made his living on importing nurses because of this shortage in the US.

Aint alot of mex's in NJ to offset contractor pay...and they are building one hell of alot of houses around here.
