I have 45 seconds.

Basically, I'm wondering if you could tell me what you consider low-skilled employment versus unwillingness to pay decent wages to workers. Can you just briefly talk to me about the low-skilled workers out there?

I'm just wondering because there's a shortage of low-skilled workers, but there's also the fact that there are employers out there who are not paying a good wage, and that's why people aren't vacillating to some of those jobs. I'm just wondering if you could speak to that.
