In other words...you are afraid to answer.
This is the big lie. The jobs are predicated on the expectation of the continuing existence of the modern day slave trade. Those jobs never really existed.
The example I have used to demonstrate this sophistry goes like this, "I want to create the worlds largest Persian rug factory in the US. I need one million Persians imported to my factories to craft these rugs. I am not being supplied with the workers to fill the jobs I have created.".
In reality, if there was 2.6 million new jobs created, the prospective employees number in the hundreds of millions right here in the US...the creator of the new job just needs to offer enough pay and benefits to coax workers away from their current jobs to got to work at the new jobs.
This is how workers' standard of living increases across the board. Other employers need to pay their employees more to keep them from moving to the newly created job.
