Have you tried to hire a plumber recently (or any other tradesperson for that matter)? You may have noticed it is increasingly difficult to find qualified plumbers and that prices have increased dramatically. You are not alone. A phenomenon in the last 20 years, fewer and fewer Americans have entered the trades for a variety of reasons.
