An excerpt from a very long and comprehensive article about today's labor market.

I'm posting this because another poster said illegals were taking these jobs away college kids, when that is not true.

Nice post. We have a very low unemployment rate, the economy is booming and the evidence that there aren't enough people for certain job sectors is everywhere.

Illegal immigration is a bugaboo of the far left--trade unionists and isolationists--that some on the right (for whatever reason)have taken up without looking at the facts.

Frankly, if people are loosing jobs today it is much more likely due to cheap chinese imports (from slave labor and artifically low currency) than illegal immigrants from SA.

“We’re going to have to be more creative in finding workers.”



May I suggest that they raise their pay? There is no rule that says that you've MUST pay the minimum wage. It's a minimum, not a maximum.
