Harder is true when these companies find hiring illegals, H1B, H2B, and others so much easier and cheaper. I have little sympathy for these companies in general. Hire in your community, hire Americans, pay a good wage, and train as needed. As we go into the summer, at the right wage, there are plenty of legal, American workers.
I visited a company today and was told there are no good workers to hire. Those unemployed are not employable.
In Morristown Tennessee there is pretty much full employment
