So then who fills the unskilled jobs?  Do employers just start paying more to attract workers, or will they start looking for a new source of illegal labor?[/quote]

The same people who always fill them.  Young people, people without education, people who just want side jobs, new entries, basically people without better options.  Who do you think works at McDee these days? That's your demographic.

And yes, employers may need to start paying more.[/quote]

Parents need to push their kids to work "menial" jobs. My daughter is working at a local ice cream shop - getting paid minimum wage.  Her boss is tough. He has an image he wants to maintain. Lots of kids don't want to follow his rules.

but guess what? He gave my daughter a chance - her first job.  While some of his rules are picky, she's learning some soft skills which are often overlooked.

But so many parents (American-born) have little respect for "menial" jobs and that distaste is passed down to their children.

I am first gen.  So I know the meaning of work b/c my dad broke his back to build his business.  I'm passing that along to my own children - that you need to work your way up.  So rather than "farm out" jobs, maybe we need to remind our own children that they're NOT TOO GOOD for many jobs.
