        @WSJ @jeffsparshott Increase pay for those jobs & you'll have more people entering those fields. It's called capitalism.

        @NolaLegalmvp @WSJ @jeffsparshott Exactly. Apparently, construction companies don't want to pay market wages to US citizens... Shocker.

        @jeffsparshott Maybe that pay and benefits package is insufficient... If pay increases, positions will be filled. Markets abhor a vacuum.

        @WSJ Many of these fields pay good, perhaps less emphasis on piling up college debt, and more on apprenticeships & trade schools.
