24. Anyone Know How Immigrant Labor Shortage Works In These #s?

Fri Jul 6, 2018, 12:52 PM

Jul 2018

Been hearing lots of smaller businesses that use migrant labor are missing jobs because guess what, not rolling out the red carpet for these people means ( since no American will take this job) that work gets delayed or canceled. My brother had a retaining wall project that the contractor delayed a few months because he couldn't find anyone to hire to do the work. Am assuming its happening all over (and didn't Trump get all his quota filled for Mara Largo?!?). Does migrant labor pay payroll taxes? If they do I'd think the state/local tax receipts are also showing the effects of migrant labor shortages. Happy Friday!
