Default Economic Reality

The Villages is a densely populated, rapidly growing community of mostly retired people which is located in a relatively isolated part of central Florida. By isolated, I mean we are not adjacent to any major metropolitan area such as Orlando.
So where are we supposed to obtain a seemingly never ending supply of low end wage earners (such as restaurant workers, store clerks, etc.) to service our demands??? Characteristic of most retired seniors, we want it goog, we want it now, and we want it cheap.
I think the number of recent post complaining about slow or poor restaurant service is evidence of this problem. And it's only going to get worse as we continue to grow. How we are going to adequately staff new establishments, such as in Brownwood, is worrisome to me.
Any comments?
