And it's reached a point where it's no longer about cheap labor in most states. Employers are paying good wages to anyone.

That problem is also regional. In faster growing states (Arizona, Nevada) the lack of workers is obvious. In central Mo. it's not as much of a problem. Even here though it's hard to find someone reliable for a part time position (20 hrs and under a week) that starts at $7.50 an hour.
The problem is raising children in a welfare state that shows them they don't HAVE to work. The entire working class culture has changed and that's the problem...
