Yes its gotten pretty bad in NJ. I have several clients who use to send me tons of work in NJ but no longer do because of this situation.

I cover some counties in New York and haven't heard of anyone dropping their prices that low there. New York is a pretty tough state to do (as I am sure you know, with cema's inside of cema's inside of cema's, and splitter agreements, etc.).

Well, you get what you pay for and if companies want to hire the lowest bidder and don't care about quality thats the risk they take.
