In terms of services like housecleaning and nannies, it may mean that fewer of the comfortably affluent will be able to afford this luxury, or that they may have to eat out at the fancy French restaurant one time less per month. Oh well.

Talk about oversimplifications! I pay someone to clean my house, or paint it, or mow my lawn because my time is more valuably spent as a money manager.

Dear presidio9,

"Talk about oversimplifications!"

Gee, and I thought my response was overly long. ;-)

"I pay someone to clean my house, or paint it, or mow my lawn because my time is more valuably spent as a money manager."

Well, then, if your time is more valuably spent as a money manager, you'll just need to pay whatever the market requires to attract the workers you desire.

Without breaking the law by hiring individuals who have broken immigration law.

If you can't find someone who will do the task for less than it costs you by diverting your time from more profitable pursuits, then you have the choice of doing the work yourself.

When I moved to my new home, I found the cost of getting a one acre lawn mowed was high enough that I started mowing the lawn myself.

It's kind of fun to run around on the riding mower.

You have no problem with illegals breaking the law. I'm glad I don't have you as my money manager.

Do you still have "relations" with your wife or do you just pay Juan the pool boy a little overtime?
