I’m an employer in Minnesota. I could increase my business if I had a reliable supply of workers, which I don’t. Trying to hire laborers and general help is very difficult these days. Many people don’t want to work. And why would they work when they can make a good living off handouts? The gimmedat generation is destroying many American industries


I live just North of Wisconsin Dells, they cant find enough help. The only choice is to bring in foreign workers. Those that do apply cant pass a background check or drug test. Sad

Exactly. They might get their hands dirty or something. And you mean we have to work when it’s hot or cold or raining or windy?? Screw that, I’m going back to the couch in moms basement where it is safe.

17/300 - those are amazingly low numbers, so clearly something is going on, although it doesn’t necessarily mean something is amiss.

Seems to me most, if not all, of these applicants would know beforehand what the wages were, so to say the pay was too low is probably not a factor.

Maybe most of these people didn’t get an offer was because of their attitude or criminal record or lack of experience.

Mr. Trump does not get involved in the hiring at the local level I wouldn’t think. We should give the appropriate managers an opportunity to explain if these numbers are accurate and, if so, why this is.

Let us all pray that Trump (Blessed is his name) has the wisdom to RELEASE HIS TAX INFORMATION NOW so that its contents can be vetted & aired out now instead of by the ‘RATS in October & November.

so trump is or is not a complete, lying hypocrite, for bashing other for doing the same thing he does (hiring cheap foreigners for jobs Americans want)?

“Getting American workers in Palm Beach is quite possible if you offer a high enough wage.”

I can see you’ve never tried hiring millennials for low-skilled work. Not as easy to get them to show up on time as you think, regardless of what you pay them.

I have heard that from people I do business with. The American work ethic should be on the Endangered Species list.

Someone should bring this up in the debate and Trump should speak to it then, if not before.

But if anyone brings it up, he'll threated to sue - or punch them in the face - or say they're ugly - or say they're lying - or say they're a baby - or call them a loser.

It’s also hypocritical to bash those who support H1-B programs... When your businesses take advantage of said programs.

“For sure. They take laziness to a new level.”

Just getting them to STOP TEXTING for 5 minutes so you can explain to them how to put out grease fire is a MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Trump often talk about how he had to buy TV from South Korea and he wasn’t happy about it. This is no different. You’re a businessman and you do what’s economical

The idea should be lift the oppressive regulatory conditions that make hiring Americans not cost-effective.

But to many Trump supporters, when you don't hire foreigners, then wages will rise to levels that will make those jobs attractive to average Americans.

You can't have living/rising/attractive wages and be cost effective.

I was pretty sure that the only reason Romney released his tax records to the public was because he was accused of not paying his taxes. Trump isn’t being accused of not paying his taxes.
