The question is whether Americans are still willing to get dirt on their hands. They don't have to be- if labor is too expensive, American companies will invest more money in labor-saving devices. Look at the auto industry- when labor costs got too high, the car-makers invested a ton of money in automated factories and robotics.

Very true. Robots and computers were invented to make up for the shortcomes inherent in hiring a human being.
