40 million uneducated criminal aliens will fix it. How could you NOT focus in immigration/amnesty at a time like this? We’re going for the all-time SNAP participation record baby!

The liberals and the liberal media can spin it for maybe a few more years but there is no way they can spin it for six more.

If Hillary is elected, she’s either going to have to blame Hussein obamar or accept blame herself.

Sooner or later, the ugly truth will rear its ugly head.

The unemployment rate where I live is 40%. I’ve been told that by local business owners. The following is a good example of how the Democrat controlled government agencies are facilitating the unemployment rate lie of around 8%.

My 22-year old nephew is unemployed so he went to a hiring fair held by Weyerhaeuser at the local county expo center. What he discovered was a huge throng of people.

One of the Weyerhaeuser HR people told him that the crowd was five times what they expected. My nephew was told to come back the next day.

Will he have a chance? I don’t know, but there were hundreds of people there, and the mills are decent employers providing job security.

I’ve wondered at the necessity of job fairs in times of high unemployment. Spending money to find employees when employees are not hard to find doesn’t make sense. Doing so in times of low unemployment or in regions with low unemployment makes sense.

With all the high unemployment numbers why is it my company cannot find qualified engineers to work for us?

Weyerhaeuser had set up the fair to accommodate what they were told by the State of Washington would be around 8% unemployed. They were going to interview and begin the assessment process [of applicants] in the space of two days rather than go through the filter of state agencies.

When hundreds showed up, they were surprised.

My comment holds true to three locations: Houston, Tulsa, Phoenix.

If we are too busy fighting that 40 million poor criminal element for our survival then we won’t be able to fight the real enemy. A portion of the 40 million will be used as a death squad against any freedom loving American that are willing to threaten the political/police state. No ifs, and or buts.

Take the recent ranch stand off. In the future, the new courageous illegal (amnesty) death squads will visit in the dark of night. No news, no questions, no fuss but the fear and message will be sent. The oligarchy will kill millions to stay on top.

The big employers here in the Pacific Northwest are always looking for engineers, too.

I’ve noticed that they have specific requirements, mostly having to do with very recent innovations, that many unemployed do not have in their skills record. A short period of training would be required for the new hire, and most businesses want a newly hired engineer to hit the ground running, so to speak.

I’m having similar issues in Ohio. What I’ve discovered is most either don’t trust things to stay stable enough to warrant the move or are still underwater in their houses to the point they’re stuck in a certain geography. Then there are the idiots but most of those I screen out early just through resumes and it’s a pretty low percentage. I do have a specific skill set but even then...

the left is famous for faking it. their motto is ‘fake it until you make it’

the stats they’re pushing, and the obligatory dissemination of the information far and wide, is an attempt to create reality... at least in the short term.

the problem is, you cannot keep faking it forever. in order for this trick to work, there needs to be some substance to build on.

unfortunately, progressives are lacking in substance... which is why they always resort to force

the one thing people fail to realize is, there are lots of people looking for work. looking for leaders that have an idea, a vision, that will result in a sustainable livelihood

what people need are leaders

unfortunately, the left has been doing everything they can to snuff out the spark of leadership from America’s children for decades. the goal is to make everyone dependent on fedgov... which gains power as those same people vote for their subsistence

want leaders? make the effort worth while. when 2/3s to 3/4s of your week goes to fedgov, it undermines the drive and motivation. reduce taxes from the 61-75% load it is now to a more reasonable flat 20% and you’ll see people stepping up.

of course, fedgov will NEVER let that happen... as that tax load is the source of their power. reducing taxation would reduce their power. and they’ll do everything they can to hold onto it

“With all the high unemployment numbers why is it my company cannot find qualified engineers to work for us?”

Why? Because the US colleges/universities are pumping out kids who are “experts” in liberal arts, cultural diversity, and homosexual studies.

This is why so many companies cry for H1B visas to be increased.

In my company, most of the young engineers are foreigners or 2nd generation immigrants.
