Back when fuel got this high after Hurricane Katrina, I had to raise my labor rates substantially.
I was being able to reduce my rates back down, but not where they were.

Coming up on the quarterly, a quick calculation, and I must raise my rates 20% across the board.
The list of who is going to be able to afford my services, just got shorter.
