Many of them are here illegally.
That’s right. With all the jobs sent to other countries, automated, held by ‘guest workers’ here on visas (H1B, H2B, J1, etc.), and held by people in this country illegally, how many jobs are left for Americans?
For the record, I don’t use the word “American” as some kind of code word. I’m talking about jobs for Americans of all backgrounds. Many people are working gig jobs, just to make ends meet. Many students are graduating with STEM degrees but unable to find work in their field of study. The U.S. doesn’t need ‘guest workers.’
