I know this is rather off-topic Xist, but it sounds like getting by is pretty tough in Arizona, even with the economy "booming" right now. Just as an example we're having a pretty severe worker shortage right now which was recently brought to my attention again when I noticed the coffee and bagel joint my coworkers stop at in the mornings raised their starting pay to $15... for people putting cream cheese on bagels. And they still can't seem to find enough warm bodies. Businesses seem to be taking pretty under-qualified people to fill positions.
