Exactly. Many of these people who 'thought' they were going to enjoy a decent
retirement with their pension plans will need to go back to work (or work for
another 15 years). They will find they are competing with a new class of laborer,
resently arrived from another country willing to work for a wage suprisingly
lower than they expected to make (if they can get hired at all).
