If you have young family members out trying to find work, you know the job situation here.

I don’t believe most restaurants are hiring illegals, not for a minute. But if they are, and they lose any hire help, those positions would be filled that same day by Americans who want to work.

One thing I do notice. We put in place endless labor regulations, and then undercut those regulations with illegal labor. That I see a lot. Its a kind of hypocrisy.

He’s probably right. Americans - both black and white - believe it’s beneath them to work in a restaurant kitchen unless they can start as a chef or a trained person. Meanwhile, many immigrants are perfectly willing to start in a restaurant as busboys...and will one day end up either in a top spot in the kitchen or owning the restaurant.

Americans no longer have any confidence in moving up. Or perhaps any wish to do the hard work and long hours it takes to move up.

Uh I think it got extended for a 100 weeks or more. Further I have been told by workers for years that people they know avoid work to stay on unemployment. I know personally of deadbeats who turn down work because the unemployment checks are coming.

As for the requirement that you look for work? You go to a dozen places that you aren’t qualified for or are not hiring. You check off your list.

You have to report that you turned down work which effects your eligibility. That people game the system is an issue.

Bourdain is full of Bour$#!+ ...

Not that I really care. If the restaurant industry really is so corrupt that it cannot survive without illegal aliens, let it die.

But I don’t believe it’s that corrupt for an instant.

Maybe the Mexicans spoon feed this ash hole at the restaurants he goes to.

He’s probably right. Restaurants hire huge numbers of
illegals in the kitchen.

Geepers. I wish who ever it was stealing these folk’s strawberries would quit doing it. Some of these ‘crime victims’ are getting a bit psychotic

My favorite restaurant employs three Latino men as tale bussers, and that’s all.
Funny how the media calls Bourdain a chef, but I’ve never seen the man cook anything. He merely eats and criticizes someone else’s food.
That man is a food critic, not a chef.
