The second issue I have been told by a recruiter (consider suspect unless somebody can corroborate) is that asthma and other ailments are being diagnosed more now (better testing tools not more asthma) and that decreases the potential pool.
I don't know whether it is better testing methods that is leading to increased diagnoses of asthma, but it was a frequent entry on applicants' medical histories when I was in recruiting (2000-2002).
