It’s not rocket science. Make not working less attractive. Stop coddling people who can’t or won’t give up their drug habits and other excuses with any more benefits than they require for survival. DC elitists, both political parties: start putting it on employers to raise wages so that someone who’s fully qualified for and works hard at a job can make a living wage with a path to move up. And, oh yeah, make darn sure H1B Visas and work permits aren’t given to invaders if there are qualified US citizens available, and give them the wage they are qualified to earn.
Easy fix for H1B being used to just hire foreigners cheaper: charge $40,000 per year per visa. Employers will go back to just using them to get high level experts who are not available in the US.

Yes-thank you! That is exactly what I’m talking about!
