All this talk about there is just a job surplus at the bottom scale is BS. When was the last time you been in a hospital. Most of the nurses and a lot of the doctors can’t speak english.

No, the job surplus isn’t “only” at the bottom of the scale, but that’s where the big numbers are.

WRT doctors and nurses in particular, there’s a *whole different* issue specific to them that IMHO is not getting nearly enough attention. There’s a definite shortage developing for doctors and nurses, and it’s not about immigration. It’s been developing for years and it’s about medicare, malpractice insurance and a host of other things killing off our medical system. It’s a little off-topic, but it needs to start getting attention.
