Empirical evidence:
The number of construction project starts in the Big Sky area has collapsed. LML has stopped building vertical and is doing civil only for the most part. They did the same thing prior to 2008.
Reasons given: Too much supply, labor rates are insane, material costs are equally insane.
Laborers that were being begged to work and at $ 30.00 + p/hr are now finding that $22-25.00 p/hr is a good wage again, if you can find it.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.
