I see any price increase as being more related to the assumption of greater risk in working, than to any fluctuation in supply and demand. I would like to assume that supply and demand are almost equally reduced although, given the younger age of most SPs than their clients, it could be that the reduction in demand exceeds the reduction in supply, which theoretically should have the opposite effect on prices, and cause them to go down. This in turn bolsters the theory that any price increases are entirely risk related.
In essence, the client is paying more for the SP's risk of exposure in servicing myriad clients, and for the "privilege" to share in that risk.
