I guess the real question is: Are these people really able to take enough projects at the cheaper price level to survive? How about thrive?

If they are only 'getting by' at the cheaper level, then it's a fair assumption that they will move on to bigger and better things if they ever come along. If they are able to thrive, then assumptions about the economics of taking these cheaper jobs is grossly misunderstood.
