Lots of folks look for jobs at those sites,nice cause you can see who is hiring for what in different cities accross the country.As far as the services advertising sections it looks like the folks "selling" their services are mostly moonlighting folks.Very sad that some people would think nothing of hiring an unisured,unlicensed person to do work in their home or place of business because they think they are saving some money ,a big risk in my opinion.
Truth of the matter though this is something that all of us contractors are always dealing with though,whether it be the goofy old handyman doing electrical on the sly,moonlighters, or the new EC who has no idea that he is charging too little.I live with it somewhat though because these clients that they are taking from me are most likely those bottom 10%,the slow payers,priceshopping people,semi DIY'ers, and general non paying deadbeats that we all would rather not deal with anyway.
In one of the two states where I do my work (VT)a license is not required for single family electrical work(a stupid loophole in the law)so you can't even turn these folks in ....
