There could be two ways to cut “labor costs.”
One is to keep nodding and winking at illegales, which Trump does not want. (Not sure what Trump’s view is on H1B, but that is a niche area.)
The other way is to cut the other overhead of running businesses which is currently squeezing them.
A Trump presidency, if Trump does not change attitudes based on the desires of the people (which would move him further rightward), looks to be a decidedly mixed bag, some liberal things, some conservative things. But it would shake up some liberal applecarts too. It would not be your ordinary politician.
Agree, and I realize that I’m projecting a bit regarding Trump...but I figure given his business experience, he would at least consider their concerns.
