Thread: Construction Hiring Up/Where Are Illegal's?

Construction Hiring Up - Where Are The Illegal's?

12,000 New construction jobs was added to the economy in June, with 2,000 of these jobs in residential construction.

This is very puzzling to most people since the housing market is in a slump. Could it be that the illegals are losing their jobs and being replaced by Americans? Heaven forbid!!! Do Americans really do that kind of work?

Unemployment is now at a national average of 4.5%, which is considered low. What is 4.5% of the nation unemployed? 6.9 million people not working. Now thats a number I don't remember hearing or reading in the news.

I found it out by going to the U.S. Department of Labor website. Now I really wonder, if we send all the illegal aliens packing, could we get down to 2%? Of course we may have to introduce some incentives in order to get to the 2% rate. Incentives like, no welfare for those physically able to work.

For agricultural jobs a lot of farms already have temporary housing for migrant workers. So if you own, say, an apple farm in Wenatchee Washington, buy a bus, go into Seattle and pick up temporary workers at the temp. agency. After all, according to the Dept. of Labor, the temp agencies are not doing so well right now. Better yet, let the temp agency buy the buses and they could start a national employee shipping service.

Could it be that when many of these illegals head back home, that many of these construction jobs will dry up? In the long run, it will be a good thing. I-85 doesn't need to be widened for the 7th time. We don't need to convert more forests into subdivisions.

This invasion has really taken a toll on our environments.

The place where I grew up and played was filled with ponds, streams, and forests. You should see it now. Doesn't even look like America. I wonder how many other Americans tell the same story.

Americans have always done the hard, dirty dangerous work and always will. They will also apply their knowledge, ingenuity, skills and natural desire for efficiency to make the work easier, cleaner, less dangerous and more efficient.

Americans will also stand up for each other while doing the hard, dirty and dangerous work and stand by each other to make the work easier, cleaner, less dangerous and more efficient.

Americans will also stand with their fellow workers as they do the hard, dirty and dangerous work and stand by each other to make the work easier, cleaner, less dangerous and more efficient to demand the pay that the hard, dirty and dangerous work deserves and that the market will bear so they can have sustainable, productive well-financed lives for themselves, their families, their communities and the United States of America.

Americans have always known by nature how to do this, and We are the best at in the world. These are not skills and characteristics We want to lose or forget any time soon.

The unemployment rate is a LIE. It's been a LIE since Reagan's reign when the unemployment rate was redefined to ONLY include people RECEIVING UNEMPLOYMENT. EVERYONE WHO IS NOT RECEIVING UNEMPLOYMENT is magically considered employed! I don't think ANY OTHER G5, first world nation on earth calculates its unemployment rates this way.
