Dscouraged workers....or people on the dole.
Discouraged workers???
...With all due respect, it is very likely you don’t have family members who are employed in STEM positions or you would not make such a statement.
There are middle-aged Freepers “Discouraged Workers” here who are desperately looking for work in STEM fields...They have had an uphill fight ageism and cheap foreign labor thought a variety of Visa worker programs.
How do I know?
I follow the issue. I have been very vocal in my opposition to H-1B Visas, Unlimited Student visas and other cheap foreign labor Visas, and discouraged workers—because I have seen what happens to US citizens up front and personal. Because of my outspokenness, I receive Freepmail from FRiends who have been out of work for years...privately sharing their stories. THEY ARE NOT ON THE DOLE. BUT THEY ARE DISCOURAGED.
2 recent examples...I received a Freepmail from someone who searched for 5 years and gave up...Been out of work for 2...Likely now on Soc. Sec. eh may have working spouse, etc...I have been asked to pray for another.
But I don’t need Freeper examples. My spouse took a semi=mandatory early employment in 2017, this is someone with a PhD and 30 years experience. They thought they would easily return to workforce w/a new job...Took over a year, and they were discouraged. It is because of prayer and the apparently closing open window that existed last fall of an excellent economy economy and NO EXPANSION OF CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR that they found a job.
I have 2 kids, one MS one PhD in STEM fields, and they have had to fight the cheap foreign labor express through graduate assistantship slots, job openings, and lower salaries. One works in a department in which he is the only “Caucasian US citizen” with others from various Asian countries.
The Trump administration is suing Oracle for preferential hiring of foreign students from US universities, yet they want to expand the numbers...Is that crazy or what?!?!
I believe Trump is getting bad advice from some in his administration.
Oh and don’t think I am or have ever been an anti-Trumper—I had hoped he would run and thought he would LONG BEFORE he announced, and LONG BEFORE this became a Trump supporting website.
Please don’t call Discouraged workers people on the dole—they might be your neighbors or FRiends...
