My neighbor is a snowbird from Minnesota. He and his son own a flooring business in MN. Have owned it for many, many years. He was telling me this morning they may close the business. Not for lack of customers, but lack of employees. You see up in MN people who are the caliber you hire to lay carpet, etc., can make more money in this Obama economy staying home and collecting all the freebies he is giving them - from welfare, foodstamps, etc... and the people who are truly ambitious are not willing to work for $15 an hour - instead they are going next door to North Dakota and working in the fracking industry for $150K - $200K a year.
