Correct. I do all my own yard work, including pushing a mower. I use the event to get exercise. I call it aerobic yard work. Some of my neighbors cut their own grass. I get a kick out of seeing guys on riding lawnmowers that cost in excess of $1500 for a 1/3 acre yard.
You hardly ever see kids out cutting grass anymore. Why don't people get their kids to cut the grass? One woman that I talked to in the neighborhood said that she didn't want her 12 year old son getting hurt pushing a lawnmower. Give me a break, I was cutting grass at age 8.
Fewer kids = fewer kids cutting grass. The problem will get worse over time as you need people to staff both the professional level and the grunt work jobs.

Let me translate: I don't want to argue with the fat, lazy little brat and wrestle his GameBoy away from him.
