"A shortage of gen-x workers" is exactly the case at my facility. I'm 45, which is the valley in the bimodal age distribution. People are either in their 60's or 20's, and those two generations do not get along.

Why is there a shortage? Are you underpaying people?

Not me personally; I'm an EE, not a manager. But yes, they underpay. I'm only making market salary because I threatened to quit last spring.

Ah, labor does respond to the law of supply and demand :).
