Two things other than skills and education determine whether you can find a good paying job in America.
(1) how many jobs we create above how many jobs we had the previous year. You will find that in the row labeled “Jobs Created”.
(2) How many guest worker visas were issued for workers from other countries to come to america to work. You will find that in the row labeled “Visas Issued”.
As you can see, every year we have issued more guest worker visas than we have created jobs for.
Ask yourself what happens to the Americans if we import more guest workers from other countries to work when we didn’t create enough jobs for everybody?
The homeless, the people living out of their cars, the people forced to move home with their parents, those not working or seeking work.
Do you understand why they have gave up looking for work?

Until we all work together and quit being silent about this, it will continue to grow worse.
I can’t fight it by myself.
Neither can you.
But United We Stand, Divided We Fall

For those that prefer graphs.
I have found a slight problem in this and have fixed it. I had calculated Foreign Born and Native Born job gain using the total jobs created (bottom row in yellow).Problem is the top yellow row is the actual number of jobs created, so I have fixed it.
