Interesting question: lack of skillset in this country or lower pay for workers from other countries? In summary, the answer is lower pay for foreign workers. To back up the answer, I'd have to write a series of articles. Hmm. Maybe I will.

Thanks for your concern. I would have felt better while all this happening had I known you back then. But I'm now 81 years old, long retired and my skillset is at least 20 years out of date. So, I just write.
