As a matter of fact, shortly after the famine the English Aristrocracy would be faced again with a waning labor force and a return of high wages with The Black Death.
And these weren't mechanized jobs. These were agricultural jobs. The laborers really had the aristocracy by 'the balls.' I mean do you actually think Edward was going to work in his fields? Heck, no. He'd go hunting for deer, but, pick up a hoe? Never. So the market came to bear and in some instances the common laborer got what he asked as their numbers dwindled.
See, if it weren't for modern medicine we might not be facing all these issues today when it comes to outsourcing.
Oh, well.
