[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those people not participating in the labor force are not looking for work because
A) don't have the skills for the jobs they would like
B) are not desperate enough to take the jobs that there are.

HRC wanted to fix A; Trump is going to fix B.

the wages have been pushed downward by increase in cheap labor.

as anecdote go see Loving.  great movie.  wasn't even part of the story but it shows how in 50's and 60's people were able to support a family as a mason.  Doesn't happen anymore because our culture has screwed the working class by importing millions of desperate workers.  Wages need to start rising.  More local workers will flow into the market.  That is how it is supposed to work yet somehow when it comes to low skilled labor, supply and demand don't apply.

The IT jobs, that are the bricklayers of the information age, have been given millions of young adults from around the planet instead of hiring our own children.[/quote]

I work in IT and don't agree. They outsourced the call centers but brought some back. Americans don't want to put in the effort to take STEM classes. I mean nowadays parents are forcing their kids into STEM programs with varying success. But when I was in grad school I was one of a handful of Americans in Computer Science. The vast majority of students were foreign students. I work in an IT area that requires workers to be US citizens. There are jobs that go unfilled. There are not enough American workers to fill these jobs.[/quote]
