AS a roofing contractor outside Wash DC for the past 20 years, I'll share my experience. Until the El Salvadorans came around it was darn near impossible to hire anyone. I'd run ads in the Washington Post and be lucky to get 3-4 people respond. And half of them wouldn't show. The ones who would work were the dregs of society.

There flat out was not enough labor to fill all the blue collar jobs here. The unemployed locals were largely unwilling or unemployable.
