In the past two decades, Utah's economy has gone through changes that have created a greater need for more low-skilled workers than a native-born population could or would want to fill, said Pamela Perlich of the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Utah.

Pam must've been one of the college students who got a full-ride from mommy and daddy. As one of the unwashed masses that worked while in college, I can tell you that I and a lot of fellow students weren't above working at a cheese factory, an industrial plant cutting plastic parts, refurbishing valves that come in from the oil rigs, and two summers on a highway construction crew (I-80, southwestern Wyoming). Care to tell me more about jobs Americans won't do?

Suck it, Pam. There's a lot of college students that are barely making it because the Mexicans are flooding the job market.

Every time they talk about what jobs U.S. Citizens won’t do, I look back on the jobs I’ve done. I know exactly where you’re coming from.

At a boarding school I was paid $0.49 cents an hour for my services. The idiots. Who knew they could pay someone $0.25 cents an hour for the same job? LOL

Take care.
