Blue collar job discrimination. Is this common?

4. Can you honestly say that you would stay at the survey job

if you were offered a job similar to the one you had before in IT or a position with an architecture firm? I have a small business involved in the automotive field but very basic and have two employees. Last position I hired for I had MANY ATE certified mechanics that applied. The position I had available paid about 1/2 of what they were making before (one was about 2/3 higher). Do you think they would (or should) stick it out in my business if they get another offer? I just don't want to deal with the hassle of hiring employees every few months.
