Dan DiMicco and Jim Cramer – This is what you are NOT seeing or coming to grip with

First of all, don’t take this wrong because I agree with everything I have heard from ya’ll, but if you really want to fix the job problem, you need to understand why the job problem can’t be fixed until you come to grip with this.

Perhaps I have a different perspective then you because I have lived it and it has left me as close to destitute as a person can be without blowing his brains out.

And before you think I have something against H-1B’s, I must tell you that you are wrong because I believe that immigrants are welcome here as long as they consider themselves an American first and whatever country they came from second and they do what they can to keep the American Dream going.

The one thing you are not coming to grip with is there is one thing we are doing different that we have never done before and that thing is that we are sending more and more jobs offshore each and every day.

How many?

I can’t track them unless the Securities & Exchange Commission mandates that every publicly traded company must show how much they are paying CONUS and OCONUS and break it down by Employee, Consultant, Contractor, Vendor, etc..

Then I can show you what is happening.

Take this site I stumbled on a little while ago

I havent added up the dollar total yet, but we have put 272 Thousand 538 American software people out of work and I know because I’m one.

Problem is, that is only for the software jobs

If you go to this page and have the resources to add it all up (I don’t, but I’m willing to hire the people and get accurate verifiable unemployment data if somebody will put up the money instead of that garbage that the dept of labor puts out), you will find that there are probably 10 million or more people that we have brought in because our corporations say they can’t find help.

The problem is, they have turned the hiring process over to their HR depts and nothing against them, but they don’t understand how to read between the lines of a resume and all they are looking for is buzzwords, so they’re simply not finding people and then they are telling upper management that they can’t find people, so upper management tells the government that we can’t find people, and this is all because they’re too damned lazy to put the hiring decision back in the lap of the person needing the help so that they can actually interview people that they feel are qualified instead of what HR believes meets their requirements.

Think about this.

If the amount of jobs listed on the page above matches the amount of unemployed Americans we have, don’t you think it at least warrants you removing your denial blinders?

That is problem number 1.

Problem number 2, at least in the IT business is these people are putting a “caste” type system into play here in America and I know because I have duplicated an Indian Friends resume and he gets called and I don’t get called.

Over 90% of the head hunters in the IT business are now Indian and I have no problem with that IF we are competing on a level basis as you yourself said about China Mr. DiMicco, but as you can see here, we are not competing on a level basis
