I suspect that I am far from the only person in the workforce that is ridiculously underemployed with little chance to move up to a level in line with my qualifications and experience. I have spent several years trying to move up to the next level where I work, but the company restructured job classifications and the next level was brought down to me. The people who were at the next level are facing major pay cuts if they don’t move to the new next level, so of course they will get preference over me.
IMO these circumstances exist, because we have 40 million people out of work. In addition we have 20 to 35 million foreign nationals here taking up slots.
So what do our elected officials do to help you two and others? Well, they ignore you because the plight of the illegal immigrant is so sad and must be addressed immediately.
Besides, they don’t even acknowledge your status. They address the unemployment 7.bullshit figure and remark that this economy is really turning around.
Sorry folks...
