With 94 million Americans Out of the Work Force, Why Do We Have 25 Million Foreign Guest Workers?

[HereWeGoAgain]

It's too late for that, the shits already grew up and they /will/ be taking control of the government. Our only hope is that they idiots can muster the internal fortitude to run their own businesses and work hard to succeed in them, then they'll see how the real world works and start to understand exactly /why/ income gaps exist, why society isn't 'fair' to all men, and how finances work. It's a long shot, but it's all there is.

40% of this country has gone socialist; huge red flag that you better make alternative plans for /your/ future if you have /any/ money at all.

I wont say it's too late. Each new class will remember how they were taught.
It's no different than a new coach...you'll learn the new system.

We have over 94 million Americans out of the work force.
Labor Force Participation Rate Dropped to 62.8% In April: 94,044,000 Out

The number of Americans not in the labor force last month totaled 94,044,000, 562,000 more than in March -- and the labor force participation rate dropped to 62.8 percent (near a 38-year low), following four straight months of slight improvement.

When President Obama took office in Janaury 2009, the labor force partipation rate was 65.7 percent, after hovering in the 66-67 percent range for much of the George W. Bush presidency.

The recession inherited by the Obama administration officially ended in June 2009, but the labor force participation rate continued to drop during Obama's two terms, hitting 62.4 percent in September 2015, its lowest point in 38 years.

While 25 million foreign born workers are here on guest worker visas, and this includes the illegal black market labor.
Foreign-Born Employment in U.S. Dips Slightly from Record, Still At 25,460,000 - Breitbart
The number of foreign-born people employed in the United States dipped slightly last month compared to the record high set in March, but remained above 25 million mark, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The BLS reports that 25,460,000 foreign-born people had a job in the U.S. during the month of April, a decrease of 281,000 compared to the month of March when a record 25,741,000 foreign-born people were employed in the U.S.

The BLS does not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants, defining the foreign-born as:

Those residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth. That is, they were born outside the United States or one of its outlying areas such as Puerto Rico or Guam, to parents neither of whom was a U.S. citizen. The native born are persons who were born in the United States or one of its outlying areas such as Puerto Rico or Guam or who were born abroad of at least one parent who was a U.S. citizen.

And in this situation, we have declining job growth.
U.S. jobs growth slows down in April
Companies scaled back hiring in April, adding just 160,000 new jobs, in a sign the U.S. economy still hasn’t recovered from an early-year chill.

The April jobs report was well below Wall Street’s expectations. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 203,000 increase in nonfarm jobs.

The unemployment rate, meanwhile, was flat at 5%. More people dropped out of the labor force and the so-called participation rate fell for the first time in seven months. That could mean people find it a bit harder to get a job.

So WHY ARE WE BRINGING IN MORE GUEST WORKERS WHEN AMERICANS CANT GET TRAINED AND HIRED FOR THESE JOBS INSTEAD?

BECAUSE CORPORATIONS AVE BOUGHT OUR GOVERNMENT, IN MANY CASES USING MONEY WE GAVE TO BIG BANKS IN$5 TRILLION IN BANK HANDOUTS.

We gave $5 trillion to the banks, huge bailouts to various corporations and debt simply wiped off the books, and yet where are the bailouts for regular Middle Class Americans? We are paying these predatory mortgages still today, while the predators are still snorting coke and buying whores on Wall Street with that tax payer money that was then doled to them in huge million dollar bonuses. And it is wrong to raise their taxes, why? So they drug dealers and whores can stay in ridiculous wealth?

Where are the protesting Libertarian Traitors who throw a snit fit every time anyone proposes helping Americans? They love give a-ways to corporate America, because they are wannabe corporate pirates who hope one day to feast on the carcasses of their fellow Americans also, just like they see corporations doing today.

This has to end, folks. And if neocons like 'Paul Ryan the Sellout' dont like it, then throw the bastards out.

I'm wondering with that wall he's gonna build, how the hell is he gonna get his shit lines back into this country? Got any ideas, you fuckin Trump loving moronic simp?

I'm not sure of your point. The vast majority of those not in the labor force don't want a job. We're talking retirees, disabled, housewives, full time students, independently wealthy, etc. And the 5.7 million not in the labor force who say they do want a job aren't doing anything about it, 3.3 million haven't done anything at all...even ask a friend if they knew of anything, in the last year. A-38. Persons not in the labor force by desire and availability for work, age, and sex

So those not in the labor force are not a good indicator of available labor. Oh, and those not in the labor force include 14.2 million foreign-born Table A-7. Employment status of the civilian population by nativity and sex, not seasonally adjusted

What? The workers NOT in the labor force are NOT a good indicator of available labor? Are you aware of the FACT that the Labor participation Rate is made of the people who have QUIT LOOKING for a job? The same excuses you are making, "retirees, disabled, housewives, full-time students, independently wealthy, etc., also existed in the 70's, 80's etc..

The Labor Participation Rate is the lowest since the mid-'70's. How do you get any other meaning?

Public education centers are nothing but indoctrination centers for the left,they dont teach anything useful.

What a ridiculous claim.

Some hyperbole, but the public educational system spends too much time indoctrinating and teaching to pass performance tests instead of teaching useful facts and how to think critically.

Explain this indoctrinating. Shouldn't they be able to pass performance tests?

Passing a performance test has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the indoctrination from government schools.

Well that's why I said I hoped they opened businesses, that would be the "new coach" - if they don't though, and they continue on this ideology that the wealthy are "stealing" from them based on "economic inequality" between a CITY based earners and GLOBAL earners... well then that's a different story ain't it.

So those not in the labor force are not a good indicator of available labor. Oh, and those not in the labor force include 14.2 million foreign-born Table A-7. Employment status of the civilian population by nativity and sex, not seasonally adjusted

We have 6 million involuntary part time workers, 8 million unemployed still looking for work, and 2 million 'marginally attached' that want work but have simply given up.

And yes, some of these are foreign born looking for work whic again supports my contention as these people still draw from our welfare services.

We need to give top priority to hiring Americans (via retraining them if needed) and then hiring those foreign born already here, then consider bringing in more guest workers.

So the point is place immigration on hold till we clean up the current mess and find work for those currently residing in the USA and its citizens first of all, then maybe consider more H1-B visa applicants after about 10 or 20 years of making sure every American that wants to work can find work..

Again, this is mere emoting.

 

[JimBowie1958]

Yes, it is a crutch, but often times it is the only thing the inarticulate can understand.

 

[JimBowie1958]

There are far fewer unemployed than when Obama took office.

Yeah when you stop counting them as employable, the number of 'unemployed' goes way down.

 

[rightwinger]

There are far fewer unemployed than when Obama took office.

Yeah when you stop counting them as employable, the number of 'unemployed' goes way down.

Again..why are you obsessed with retirees, housewives, the disabled and 16 year olds working?

 

[EverCurious]

I think I asked for this before, but do we actually have like numbers for this stuff somewhere? Like I say I'm "mostly retired" cause I've only worked when I wanted to since I was in my 20s, but I never check "retired" on anything cause I may someday work again, I put "unemployed" but it's idk voluntarily unemployed/housewife - what list would I be on then? IF they consider all unemployed in the figures of those not having a job... I think I, and others in the same kinda situation, probably bork the numbers up without even thinking about it :/

I guess I recall some poll or something had asked if I was looking for work and I'd checked No on that... But how do they get the numbers (if they even exist)?

 

[rightwinger]

Not working does not equate to out of work

 

[EverCurious]

Well that's my question and what I'm looking for info on. How do they get the numbers, off polls, off IRS reports, off what? Like if I fill out some paperwork and check "unemployed" and there's no further question about if I'm looking for work or just a housewife or stay-at-home-mom or w/e, I would think that falls on the "Unemployed" count wouldn't it? I'm just wondering how they do the stats thing for unemployment numbers because it's something I've never actually looked into.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

With 94 million Americans Out of the Work Force, Why Do We Have 25 Million Foreign Guest Workers?

Our educational system has made Americans only capable of flipping burgers, that's why.

That educational system that people love to malign managed to get everyone I know employed, and none of them are burger flippers. Exaggerate much?.
