You realise that the skilled workers we were luring away from elsewhere aren't just tradespeople though, right? When things were really booming here we were bringing in engineers of all types (mechanical, chemical, electrical, etc.), not mention all kinds of finance and other professionals. I think that trades are critically important, but the phrase "skilled workers" cuts a wide swath.
