[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look for prices to continue to be inflationary. My experience is with the poultry industry several hours away from DC. There is no shortage of farmers willing to raise the baby chicks into mature chickens. There is no shortage of chicken being raised.  The shortages are in the following labor categories:  CDL drivers to transport the mature chickens to the chicken processing plants. "Packers" to pack the mature chickens into trucks for transport to the chicken processing plants. Finally, chicken processing factory workers.  Back in the 80's it was not uncommon for white middle aged ladies to do this work.  White middle aged ladies and African Americans no longer want to work in chicken processing plants. Typically it is Haitian workers living in lower Delaware, the eastern shore of Maryland and the eastern shore of Virginia who work in the poultry plants now.  There is a shortage of Haitian workers.

Yep immigration is way down. A lot of the shortages are in area where immigration use to provide labor. [/quote]
