I like your imagery of a downward spiral.

Other industries have higher costs for employment and pay less.

For example, teachers often have to spend thousands of dollars out of pocket to take tests to get various levels of certification just to start teaching.

I'm afraid our industry is moving in the same direction.

It will start becoming more and more expensive just to get the damn job. It's already hard enough.

Soon all costs of training an employee will be pushed off onto the employee themselves. "You must be able to jump this high (and spent $$$) to work here."
