I am in a skilled trade, own my own business and make about $300K a year, my one employee made $125K last year. I literally have too much work, and am in great demand. I also happen to be the only person that does what I do in all of SoCal. Here in California, the norm is Land of the Stupid and home of the lazy, oh and where’s my check and whens my break.
Shortage of unskilled grunts as well-at least those willing to work.
What is it you do?
