I'm "United Brotherhood of Carpenters" and I know a lot of Pipefitters and Ironworkers. I don't hear about any shortages, we have millions in the skilled trades. Boomers would descend on Chicago from everywhere. Guys negotiate per diem and other perks on top of the national/local agreements and so forth. There'd be no shortage of workers to keep with demand in a case like Amazon. Chicago is second only to New York nationally in compensation but cost of living offsets the difference. Guys would drag up left and right to make Chicago money.
