The U.S. economy was more than 7 million jobs short of keeping up with population growth. That’s one good reason for controlling immigration. An economy that cannot keep up with population growth should not be boosting population with heavy rates of legal and illegal immigration.

Over the past five years, the U.S. economy experienced a net job loss in goods-producing activities. The entire job growth was in service-providing activities—primarily credit intermediation, health care and social assistance, waiters, waitresses and bartenders, and state and local government.

Bump

If you are worried about terrorists, you don’t know what worry is.

Most important statement in the article. Shows his mindset. To me, nothing is an important as defeating terrorism.

This is just the period during which many highly-educated people were starting their own businesses.

That is because large corporations are too stupid to recognize the value of having highly skilled workers, but still need someone to get the job done. The job is now done on an invoice from a sub-S corp, not a W-2.

To me the economy is of the same importance and the war. I expect the govenment to be able to do more then one thing at a time.

They should try civil engineering, I know a guy who was part of a bidding war between two companies and he got his salary into six figures with only two years experience.

That can't be true. I read right here at FR that all the engineering jobs were being outsourced.... ;^)

I don't know but seems to me that someone who has a definate bias and comes up with facts that contradict reality, perhaps should not be given the time of day.
