It seems like labourers are still in high demand and difficult to find for small jobs.
My mom had some plumbing work done at her house that left 4-5 drywall patches that needed to be put back in place, taped, mudded, sanded and painted... It was impossible to get anyone to even come and look at / quote the job, even with the preface of "I understand if it's $2,000" (even my wife's friend's husband snubbed the job).
In the end, the result of my first ever attempt at taping and mudding was passable... But #### ever doing that again.
