Software companies?
I’m guessing you have Free Republic confused with Indian Republic. Indians are the only ones hired for any type of Software Engineering work.
Truck Drivers? Will you fund the typical $4500 CDL school costs? Most OTR carriers only pay $1600 per month for the 1st two months while under training after your CDL and the $0.30 a mile (is less than $15 an hour), assuming you are driving when you are on duty. No pay for pretrips, weather delays, mechanical delays or dispatcher delays. No freight, no pay.
Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon? Great for only part-time work with no absolutely no benefits.
Some people have no clue. It was hard enough to find anything before Covid when I got dropped from disability at the beginning of the year, now I don’t even bother to look. I’m having to rely on family and am lucky to have it. But there are very few decent jobs anymore. The Indians have taken all the IT jobs and the Mexicans have taken all the low paying stuff. Not much left in a service economy.
Good points.
I’ve worked with many nurses who had 2 or 3 jobs. If you want to work and can only work part time, get 2 or 3 part time jobs. (Hint -— you MAY have to work -— GASP -— more than 40 hours a week to make ends meet!) Do you know WHY immigrants do so well in our country? It’s because they’re willing to work as many hours as it takes, at any job they can find, and live in a small place with several extended family members, in order to prosper. And I’m talking legal immigrants. And they DON’T gripe about it; they’re thrilled for the opportunities.
(As far as the software industry, THAT’S the government’s fault for allowing it, and chain migration. You really can’t blame the immigrant. But my above remarks are NOT referring to software workers, but to lower income people).
