But Joe Scarborough says this is not a good economy and even if it was, the credit goes to Obama.
Those left? White middle age American tech workers are still affected by the many MILLIONS of H1-Bs. Also, those with disabilities (yet fully capable of doing the job) are available.
If the job market gets tight enough, businesses will give people with minor records a chance. Perhaps change the system so that after N years with no further trouble, the records get sealed.
I don’t believe the unemployent numbers for a second. The unemployment numbers have een fudged so draatically over the past 30 years, they are eaningless. Just like the inflation rate. Millions and millions of eople are still unemployed, underemployed, or want to work full time rather than part time. Millions of people are going uncounted, from college grads living with Mom, to 50 year olds forced into retirement otpr on SSDI when they ould rather work.r
It is like the current housing boom. There is a large shadow inventory that still has yet to hit the market. A lot of ese are renrals that sellers gave up trying o sell after housing collapsed. They still want o sell,but they are just now waking up to the current sellers market. When they all do, inventoy is going to shoot up.
The uneployment numers are bogus lies. All lies. The economy is booming under President Trump, and we should have full employment by the end of his 2nd term, especially after the infrastructure bill is passed, but we are not even close to full employment yet. Not as it ould have been counted 40 years ago.
My 20 year old lazy assed POS step-son. When he was 19 he went and got $197/month in food stamps when he moved out. He managed to lose every job he ever had and even got himself kicked out of Marine Corps during boot camp. Haven’t seen him since he got back and last I heard he’s staying with his equally worthless dad who will not put any pressure on him to get a job. Sad part is every where you look the businesses are posting Now Hiring signs in their windows.
His mother and I were just saying this weekend he’s probably the only person in the Tri City, Washington area that doesn’t have a job...
You mean companies actually have to consider people that want to work, but dont meet their absurd requirements to have a 5 year degree and 20 years of experience when the damn job is 99% learned through simple training? Or that people that served their time, and are on the straight and narrow should actually be given a shot?
Start booting people off of welfare
What about “free market” do employers think we don’t understand? If you want better workers, or you want more workers, PAY MORE. It is called “competition”, and it miraculously sets a fair price for goods and services.
Paying kickbacks to Bribing politicians to import cheap labor and subsidize the cost, is not a free market, it is fascism.
For the immigrants we do invite, there should be significant requirements for health, wealth, intelligence, education, etc.
Thanks to current immigration “laws”, our average height, health, IQ, language skill, work ethic, hygiene, and morality, are in a nose dive.
How much of the new employment of minorities can be attributed to the closing of the border?
11% of people with Bachelor’s degrees are doing minimum-wage work. 20 million people without high-school diplomas are between 25 and 55, physically able to work, and report that they would want to work, but cannot find jobs. in addition to these, 22 million are in the workplace but are either unemployed (U-3) are only marginally attached (U-4) or work part-time despite seeking full-time work (U-6).
I’d say employers need to find those college graduates, train them so that they’re out of the unskilled labor pool, and fill the unskilled labor pool with the unemployed, underemployed, and out-of-the-workforce.
The legions of Deep State employees inside the DC Beltway who should be off doing useful work if they can.
Pulling people off of unemployment and SSDI and into the labor market will help keep Social Security solvent.
Pay more, they will come.
Did the Koch Bros write this trash?
