True enough, though a paying job still beats no job. I have several friends who are contractors in Montgomery County, MD. They used to hire guys from West Virginia who would drive down to the northwest DC suburbs from the panhandle of West Virginia (~45 minutes) to work. They'd show up for a week or so, get their first paycheck, go on a couple day bender and not show up again. OTOH, their Hispanic help is hard-working, reliable and loyal. There is simply no comparison in the work ethic between the two groups, unfortunately.
