I could leave my office and go find 5 jobs right now in my city. There are scads of jobs out there. We need immigrants.

I'm not sure if his aborted fetuses could fill positions more competently than his other consort but it might not hurt to give it a try.

Remember when the freaks used to claim that the Obama administration only counted the U1 numbers as employment was going down.

Now, this stat only works if one ONLY uses the U1 number.

Since they were all about having to look at total unemployment, that makes her tweet a lie. It's not an error. It's a lie.

Those were the jobs that immigrants formerly had. Do you really think you are going to get your MAGAts to work for those wages?

And you chased them all off.

Love to see you or your friends try and figure out how to climb or set a ladder, and get paid by the bin / crate.

Oh go back to your gilded cesspool, with your scummy criminal husband and friends.

Just outside Eugene next to the river. Me and my two buddies were the only
"white" people working there. Almost all the pickers were Hispanic. The men
and teens picked while the mothers spread out blankets for the children.
At lunch we were treated to tamales, a welcome break from the many cherries
I ate daily. They were maraschino cherries and had to have the stem attached.
I had many experiences with my Hispanic brothers and sisters in those days.
Wonderful people.
Apples: a few years later when I was thinning trees for the Forest Service
in Oregon, we had to go to a small town to have our saws fixed. We were
told that the saws wouldn't be ready until the next day. An apple picker,
a Hispanic guy, heard this and invited us to their place for the night.
Venison chili and mucho cerveza. Norteno music until midnight.
Wonderful people.

15. Is Ivanka's Statement True?
Thu Nov 1, 2018, 05:31 PM
Nov 2018

First, is it true that this is the first time in history that there are more jobs than people to fill them? That statement just does not seem factual. During the election, didn't Mike Pence claim that there were 9 million unemployed people in America. I thought it was recently reported that there were 7 million jobs open. How did the White House get a number of people who are looking for jobs? Second, what jobs are available and how has Trump's immigration policy affected the number of jobs available? Are those jobs that would have normally been filled by immigrants, illegal or otherwise?

Oh no. Wages Don't go up anymore. The right will do anything to keep the little people fighting inflation themselves, by not getting wage increases, that saves rich people from losing value of their money due to inflation. And the income of the rich seem to go up. Especially with no unified tight money policy to slow the economy down for a breather.
