The first thing they'll try to do is get back some workers that they let go, but many of those people have already taken career turns.... Companies are being very shortsighted at this point."

It will serve the greedy bastards right too, what goes around comes around.

OMG, those busy illegal aliens can't get to all these jobs quickly enough on the freeways. Gray Davis had better start handing out pilots' licenses!

Foreigners don't qualify, but "more immigrants" is one of the answers in the "study."

Of course.

There's a new attitude among college students, at this school anyway. There's more of them, they are studying hard, and there's a lot more taking the more difficult classes like upper level math and philosophy. It's looking good for the literate workforce coming soon.

Thank goodness we have millions of illiterate, non-english speaking, illegal aliens with forged Social Security numbers to pick up the slack.

He worries about all the people still being left behind. One day a young Latino came in and asked the receptionist if he could take an application home. She asked him to fill it out in an adjacent room, because the company uses the form as a literacy screen. When he came out, two hours later, he left it with her and scurried out. He had written only his name. Fowler heard the story when he happened by the receptionist's desk and noticed she had been crying.

So did he buy him a ticket back home?
