Your response was spot on. And I'm glad to hear that your company does try to hire locals first. :) It's perfectly clear to me that the high level jobs will have to be done by outsiders, as you said. And if you make money on it, good for you. Isn't most of the money you're making coming from the federal government? And aren't you spending it in New Orleans while you're there?
I was also glad to see the responses from homeowners, and the one who mentioned they'd talked to some of the crews and they were all locals. I wonder how many illegal immigrants are being employed in the low level jobs (or how many more are being employed by them than there usually are).
