Talk to real people and I think you'll find that inflation has been so bad, the rise in real wages does not begin to dig them out of a hole.
Just as a minor example...The buzz around my community lately was the price of potatoes at Walmart... $13 and change for a ten pound bag. That gripe competes with guys talking about the price of a new pickup.

We're still having a hard time finding people to interview. We had a technician position open, and had one applicant, who we reached out to in the first place.

Is that because the regional economy is booming?

If I'm honest, I don't really know why it's like this. Economic reports don't imply that we're booming here, but actual hiring actual people is tough. I spoke to the guy working in the cafeteria, and they can't get staff for love nor money.

In rural Delaware maybe.

I dunno...inventory at all price points is crazy low, but someone in that income range should be able to get a decent little house in the $250-275k range.... at least in much of Connecticut. (of course, pre-covid these were $150-180K houses)

Three years ago, a conventional (30 year) 80% mortgage on that house would have cost you about $1137 a month.
Today, the same loan is $1746. More than $7,000 a year more.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
