Marty I spent last evening with my best friend since kindergarten and we spoke about how upside down things are around the Boston area where we live. Prices for everything are through the roof! Every business has signs hanging on the advertising they are hiring. Historically fantastic jobs such as union electricians, transit authority, police, fire, and so on are going unfilled. Really good paying jobs and nobody is willing to take them. Heck when we were growing up you had to “know a guy” just to get in line for a job like those. Two years ago I purchased some fantastic 100% cotton sweatshirts and had them embroidered. Well I just got another 10 sweatshirts and contacted the local shop that does trophies, silk screen and embroidery to get pricing for the shirts. The owner sent me an email reply apologizing saying he is unable to do the shirts and that he cannot do local sports teams uniforms and trophies because he cannot hire anyone willing to work. So you (and the others) are not alone.
