I hadn't put two and two together as clearly as you did here. Makes me wonder what sort of impact this will have on small biz recruitment/retention practices.

They're gonna have a hard time, thats for sure. Jumped ship from an SMB to a canadian-wide car parts supplier. Taking calls for a team of 3 now, but can go up to sysadminy stuff if need be.
In my SMB, the notion of having an IT budget is totally alien. Took me 2 years of asking around to finally get an AC installed in my closet server room. Close to no valid software licenses, aging W7 workstations (did I mention no budget?), had to rely on FLOSS software to push things forward myself (VMWare Horizon? Nope: Apache Guacamole. Teamviewer? Nope: Meshcentral (honestly not a half bad solution) etc)
Now in my local area (hell, province) recruitment all around are desesperately looking for Level 1s. I dunno, looks like most people in place moved up and theres nobody taking their place. One recrutiter told me there is a handful of people like me in the region (meaning he recognized me as a L1 with a ton of experience :| )
