There is more and more reporting on the lack of skilled trades people to fill all of the seemingly endless construction jobs in Metro Detroit, but is this truly a crisis? I am reminded of circa 1980 when Michiganders headed south to Texas looking for work. Michigan had white-on-black license plates at that time, and folks from here were derided down there as "Black Tags." For a time this was as pejorative a term as "Oakies," for the Oklahoma families going to California to find work during the 1930s. Is it not the case that skilled trades types from across the country might be descending on Detroit right now, looking for work? I haven't taken a poll of motels and RV camps, but doesn't our economy work in this fashion? We go where the jobs are, correct?
