How long until this becomes a workforce mobility issue?
This is an intersting piece on how small business contractors and others in Seattle are coping with the rising cost of fuel. They are actually turning down jobs.
The question I have is: How long will it take for the general laborer in our region to start turning down work because it is too expensive to travel?
Do you have any thoughts on that?
