Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a new employment program as the nation braces for thousands to return home amid America’s deportation campaign. BBVA Research believes there are around 4.1 Mexican nationals illegally residing in the US, accounting for around 37% of the total undocumented population. Sheinbaum’s new proposal has been met with much criticism by the Mexican people, as they believe the government abandoned rural areas long ago. The Conexión Empresarial Paisano platform is listing 63,880 new job openings through 220 companies across all 32 states. The current plan is to provide 50,000 of these new openings to people...

Toronto -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday said that US President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs are a “direct attack” on his country and that the trade war is hurting Americans, noting that American consumer confidence is at a multi-year low. Trump said earlier on Wednesday that he was placing 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports and, to underscore his intention, he stated “This is permanent”. “This is a very direct attack. We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country,” Carney responded. Mark Carney said he needs to see the details...

The railroad tracks that slice through downtown Freehold, N.J., used to be lined by dozens of men, waiting for work. Each morning, the men — day laborers, almost all from Latin America and undocumented — would be scooped up by local contractors in pickup trucks for jobs painting, landscaping, removing debris. In recent weeks, the tracks have been desolate. On a gray February morning, a laborer named Mario, who came from Mexico two decades ago, said it was the quietest he could remember. “Because of the president, we have a fear,” said Mario, 55, who agreed to be interviewed on...

Sadie✓@Sadie_NC Now we understand stand why the left is flipping out about a simple email. The fraud doesn't stop at the top. It goes far beyond. Elon Musk✓@elonmusk The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all! In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud.

200,000 jobs—gone in Washington, D.C., in less than a month. This isn’t just a blip. Consumer spending will take a hit. Housing won’t be far behind. But don’t expect the impact overnight. This is a slow-motion unraveling. The so-called "booming" service sector last quarter? Just inflated prices masking stagnation. The illusion of expansion disappears the moment you look at the numbers. And now, the consequences are here.

Mass Firings Have Started At Several Federal Agencies Mass firings have commenced across several federal agencies as part of President Donald Trump's initiative to significantly reduce the federal workforce. According to Newsweek, the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the U.S. General Services Administration, and the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) are among the affected agencies. These actions follow a federal judge's decision to allow the administration's deferred resignation program to proceed, with about 75,000 employees accepting the offer to leave their jobs while still being paid through September. The firings primarily target probationary employees, who lack the...

President Donald Trump ordered federal agencies Tuesday to demonstrate that their employees’ roles are legally required, granting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) broad new powers to eliminate positions deemed unnecessary. The executive order requires agencies to defend its workforce against elimination or consolidation, while restricting departments to hiring just one new employee for every four who leave. It also creates a “DOGE team lead” position within each agency to oversee what the order calls “large-scale reductions in force” by identifying which functions aren’t mandated by law.

President Trump signed an executive order overlooked by some in the media on his first day of office that experts tell Fox News Digital will play a critical role in developing mineral resources in the United States. On the first day of his presidency, Trump signed an executive order advancing the Ambler Access Project, a 211-mile industrial road through the Brooks Range foothills that enables commercial mining for copper, zinc and other materials in a remote Arctic area in Northwest Alaska. That executive order, one of dozens signed by Trump in the early hours of his administration, reverses a move...

A Colorado woman pulled a page from an Alfred Hitchcock script, by killing her boyfriend for making fun of her with the help of a random man she’d met moments before on a bus, prosecutors said. Ashley White, 29, was found guilty of Cody DeLisa’s second-degree murder after a three-week criminal trial. Authorities said the couple’s volatile relationship took an evil turn on Aug. 13, 2020, after White had a job interview in Denver. White returned home on a bus, and texted DeLisa to tell him about the interview. Investigators learned that, well before the murder, White tried to drown...

As artificial intelligence continues to redefine industries, fears about job displacement have grown. While automation is reshaping the workforce, certain careers remain resilient, relying on skills, creativity, and judgment that machines can’t easily replicate. These “AI-proof” roles leverage uniquely human traits, offering stability in a rapidly evolving world.Mental Health ProfessionalsAI may assist with diagnostics or administrative tasks in healthcare, but it lacks the emotional intelligence to provide compassionate mental health care. Along with empathy, mental health professionals possess excellent communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills, most of which are uniquely human. Further, mental health care relies heavily upon deep interpersonal...

Law "Revoked" By Trump Sends Liberal Women Into Meltdown

Nearly 60 workers of a Boston-area bakery and restaurant chain have quit their job after the IRS flagged their tax filings as possibly fraudulent. The Tatte chain said that the employees left their jobs after the IRS contacted them about “discrepancies” in the employee paperwork that showed names, social security numbers, and home addresses not matching to the agency’s records. The discrepancies are often seen when migrants use fake social security numbers or steal the identities of Americans in order to get work in the U.S. The Boston Globe followed up by interviewing some of those who quit the restaurant...

Ahead of President Trump taking office on Jan. 20, Bidenomics is still with us. Joe crowed about all the 16 million jobs he'd 'created' in his speech five days ago, patting himself on the back.

Turns out his jobs numbers look like this: Post Stephen Moore @StephenMoore 🚨 Another half-million jobs reported under Biden turn out to be phantom! 🚨 The Philly Fed's recent findings reveal that Q2 job growth was actually negative, with all reported gains set for revision in 2025. This follows an alarming...

The number of job openings in the United States has been “falling off a cliff”, and that is a major red flag. The last four years have been an economic nightmare for most Americans, and that is one of the primary reasons why Donald Trump won the election. But as we approach 2025, things are starting to get frighteningly bad. When the number of job openings in the U.S. drops by 2 million or more, that normally signals that we are either in a recession or that one is about to happen. Well, as you can see from this chart...

The Biden regime has quietly revoked the veterans hiring preference for civil service jobs and promotions, which since the 1944 Veterans Act gave eligible veterans preference over others for appointments in federal civil service selection, a memorandum obtained by American Greatness shows

ALBANY, N.Y. (WCAX) - New York on Jan. 1 will become the first state to require employers to provide up to 20 hours of paid time off during pregnancy. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the goal of the program is to make sure expecting mothers don’t have to decide between losing pay and missing appointments. “That means they can not be missing the prenatal appointments — which are so important for a mom’s health to keep a regularly scheduled appointment with her doctor to make sure that if anything is going wrong with her health or the baby’s, they’re...

According to a new survey from the Pew Research Center, U.S. workers are feeling “slightly more negative” about DEI efforts compared to last year. Corporate DEI efforts have come under fire in the U.S., and particularly since the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action in June 2023. Now, more workers are starting to wonder: Is DEI worthwhile? Indeed, the share of U.S. workers who said that focusing on DEI efforts at work is “a good thing” dropped from 56 percent in February 2023 to 52 percent in October 2024, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center. Meanwhile,...
