hmmm, seems to me the UNDER regulated HB1 visas is the problem Vigil, not the over regulating of hb1 visas....Corporations are doing all they can to kill the middle class in the USA...Just saw this on cable news. It's bad enough for companies to force people to take early retirement, but when a company lays off 400 workers and requires the workers to train their replacements from India, something smells.
Information technology workers at Southern California Edison (SCE) are being laid off and replaced by workers from India. Some employees are training their H-1B visa holding replacements, and many have already lost their jobs.
The employees are upset and say they can't understand how H-1B guest workers can be used to replace them.
The IT organization's "transition effort" is expected to result in about 400 layoffs, with "another 100 or so employees leaving voluntarily," SCE said in a statement. The "transition," which began in August, will be completed by the end of March, the company said.
"They are bringing in people with a couple of years' experience to replace us and then we have to train them," said one longtime IT worker. "It's demoralizing and in a way I kind of felt betrayed by the company."

Seems to me Government, the EPA, and over-regulation of private industry are doing that...
And both Dems and Pubs support these hb1 visas
44% of US adults are working. Think about that for a minute, retired people are adults. Stay at home moms are adults. The disabled can be adults. Pogo had a good question, what is the ideal number? What has it been traditionally?
There you have it folks. Put the baby boomer in the pipe and smoke it

Jim Clifton, the Chairman and CEO of Gallup, says that the percentage of Americans that are employed full-time has been hovering near record lows since the end of the last recession. But most Americans don’t realize this because the official unemployment numbers are extremely misleading. In fact, Clifton says that the official 5.6 percent unemployment rate is a “big lie”. Gallup regularly tracks the percentage of U.S. adults that are employed for 30 or more hours per week, and it is currently at 44.2 percent. It has been hovering between 42 percent and 45 percent since the end of 2009. This is extremely low. As I discussed the other day, there are 8.69 million Americans that are considered to be “officially unemployed” at this point. But there are another 92.90 million Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force”. Millions upon millions of those Americans would work if they could. Overall, there are 101 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now. But you won’t hear that number being discussed by the mainstream media, because it would make Barack Obama look really bad.

Once we shut down those corporations we'll have full and fair equality.
Nobody will have anything.
Perfection, so long as folks keep believing the paper money can buy stuff.
See, all it requires is faith!
Blind, dumb faith.

Compared to -- what? What do you figure the ideal percentage is?
Good point. Unless you have something to compare it to, it means nothing.
And -- I'm an adult and I don't work so I'm counted in that figure. How many more retired people were included?
Attach any percentage to it you want but unemployment has been growing less and less every year since Obama took office.
Meanwhile, the Republicans continue to obstruct all jobs bills.
Now that the GOP control the Senate as well as the House.Going to get much worse in 2016 also.
That's a lie, there are less than 1 million discouraged workers.But there are another 92.90 million Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force”. Millions upon millions of those Americans would work if they could.
You wanna see my Pay Check? it aint suckingSucker.......fuck I am working 60+ plus hours a week on salary...I must be stupid
Now that the GOP control the Senate as well as the House.Going to get much worse in 2016 also.
But less of a lie than the Bush Regime who left office with a 39.4% unemployment rate by that same calculation.Everything about that fucking Obama administration is a goddamn lie. That 101 million adults would equate to a 33% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. Of course half of those people are on the government teat sucking away.

Sure, age has nothing to do with it!And the retired people were nudged into that group with a great big kick in the ass by the Obama administration.
