How will construction contractors find enough workers this spring and summer since people now can stay unemployed and bring home more money?

Mark - A contractor just informed me that he is having trouble finding ENTRY level workers. Those jobs, in many cases, don't pay as much as one could make staying unemployed.

isn’t that what all the illegals are for? to steal those jobs and drive those wages down?
The problem is with things like bars and restaurants. Construction won't be a problem because of the flood of illegal immigrants pouring in who Biden will allow to get work permits while US citizens stay at home collecting unemployment.
Where I live most of the construction workers aren't eligible for unemployment, not to mention that they've remained on the job sites the whole time as essential workers.
Judging from the decrease in new unemployment claims, people are starting to find work. And in order to collect unemployment, you must demonstrate you are seeking work.
