It appears what the problem is ... is that the 80's stigma of wearing overalls and sweating for a living, tradesman or labourer, you were inferior to some office nancy has taken a turn.

Now, as the older guys have retired and the younger ones play with PC's there's a shortage of workers, trades and skilled blokes.

But truck drivers, never out of a job.
The average employment expectantcy at frier's is 3 weeks,didn't believe it at first but then kicked back and watched someone leave after 2 weeks work.
