Bring back quality American jobs.
Stop outsourcing.
Bring them back.
Yeah, tell all this to the common freeper who squeals get a job every other post.
Well, as far as McDonald’s, other fast food places, gas stations, 7-11s, the anecdotal evidence is that people working in these places were not born in this country.
I can’t say what the green card status is of all of these people, but it appears that lower level American born workers are competing with foreign born for some of these jobs.
All of the visa overstayers are applying for jobs thru company websites. They think they will be able to get the job soon. There are 500 applications for each position. They are willing to work for 1/2 to 1/3 of the previous rate of pay for the position.
I have had the blessing of an inspection by the Federal Wage and Labor people. The young lady’s words to me were, and I quote, “We are here to create jobs. We don’t care about rates of pay and benefits.” Welcome to Democratland. You thought the 40 hour workweek and time and a half for overtime were created to help the workers. They weren’t. They were created to force employers to hire more people. Welcome to Democratland. What they care about is getting elected.
Why 15 signs? Why not 16, or perhaps 14?
Can’t stand the way they do headlines and titles like this...
One of the Sunday shows (I think CBS) had *conservative* columnist David Brooks on and he says that there is no excuse for not passing the Senate amnesty bill, claims that it will ‘fix’ illegal immigration but he also said that ‘no one disputes that it will create huge economic growth’
Growth?? ?? He sounds like the 2012 Romney campaign: ‘if a rich guy gets richer no matter how it must be good for you because all the rich are job creators and that's good for you’.
How does adding millions more workers to compete with American workers who are still struggling help them?
More-so, because most are poor and Hispanic (minority) they will in most cases get free college (I see this here all the time) while US born white kids will take on a lifetime of college debt, if they dont just give up.
Just prior to the last increase in minimum wage, some friends and I were eating at a food court (we ate there a couple times a week during lunch break). As we sat there making small talk, I watched the staff behind the various counters - how they treated customers, how they treated coworkers, how the handled orders, followed instruction, etc. After a bit, I looked at my friends and pointed out my guesses for which employees wouldn't make it more than a month after the increase. I'd hazard I was about 80-85% correct.
Don't even bother opening a lemonade stand
And don't dare try to sell raw milk
Amish Criminal Mastermind Peddles Raw Milk
And let's not even begin to discuss GE and the mercury squiggle light bulbs.
As politicians and unions demand more from employers these numbers will keep rising.
Pardon the dark here, but many cemetetries are seeking even mildly talented sales people.
Aren't these the "absolutely outstanding" folk to which the IRS gave conservative donor lists to for publishing or giving to other leftist groups?????
IIRC the Democrats took over Congress in 2007 didn't they. Everything has gone to 'H' since. Wondering what it will take to get the sheeple to notice who the really bad guys are.
We need to raise them back up and rebuild our industrial base.
The author needs to leave his couch and visit www.rigzone.com and view thousands of high paying jobs for people without college degrees.
The reality is that the Middle Class is shrinking because people don’t have to work. They can mooch or live on unemployment or score disability through Social Security...which causes people to come up with unmanly excuses for not getting a job such as “I can’t move because my mom lives here and needs me.”
Watch the Grapes of Wrath movie. They moved to where the jobs were located!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The oil patch is hiring. Excuses and slacking won’t cut it.
The Middle Class is shrinking because mooching and welfare or unemployment won’t let you live a middle class lifestyle.
Thousands of high paying jobs are going unfilled because people don’t have to work...all that they have to do is give up their old Middle Class lifestyle for mooching, unemployment, and/or welfare.
...of course, people don’t want to *admit* that they are slacking. Sitting on a couch all day, they would much rather blame the “bad economy” for why they don’t have a job.

Thousands of high paying jobs are going unfilled because so many people are accepting a lower class lifestyle instead of moving to where the jobs are located.
Y’all know all of this and thought it...I’m the only one around here with the guts to say it.
You can thank me later.
