What this will do is force higher wages for skilled labor. You will have a delay in filling the void but it will get filled as the word gets out. Companies will also start to offer training programs to entice people into the trade.

Do you expect that to come for free to consumers?  Higher wagers and more training always, ALWAYS, gets passed down the line.  You will pay more for damn near everything.

The higher wages will not be for the same number of employees. You will have more overtime for existing workers and possibly higher salaries for retention. Base wages for new employees may go up slightly but will include benefits. Turn time on projects will increase but whats better, a fast turn time and layoffs or a constant stream of work?
