Yep, framers are a dime a dozen and the quality that is put out today is atrocious. Even many "finish" carpenters are pretty pathetic. Don't see many "Norms" out there. Everyone thinks that they or their kids have to be in management or business now-a-days. Skilled labor is hurting.
Maybe I'm just "old school" but I have a hard time trusting a carpenter that doesn't seem to own a hand saw.
There are no more real carpenters (ok, well hrdly), merely assemblers. Everything is trussed, paralams, pre-hung fingerjointed high-speed crap.
