I hope things do even out. I have seen many smaller Plumbing companies in last year or so go out of business leaving only a handful of guys like me trying to compete. Many/most larger ones hire cheap and often illegal immigrants as help. Several are owned by minorities which help get them get govt bids, although the govt does require all contractors to use the e-verify system ensuring workers are legal to work here, which I like. It just don't seem like as level of a field as it was 3 yrs ago. I find myself moving toward more high-end quality matters type of work such as medical, health care, special needs facilities and homes. I am leaning this way as opposed to trying to diversify. Health care is big business and I am banking on it continuing to grow and there will be a niche I can specialize in.
