I got out of high school in 1976.
Did a few years in the oil field and then joined the navy where I served as a radioman on the W. S. Sims FF-1059 from 76 to 82.
After that I worked repairing scales, electronic and mechanical, for Fairbanks Scales and then I did about 4 more years as a self taught electronics technician.
Starting around 1988 I worked as a software developer doing contracts all over america for many fortune 500 firms.
I never went without above average paying jobs from 1976 to 2003.
All of a sudden something changed, and my skills were as good as ever or better.
For four years I couldn’t figure out what happened, and in 2007 I founded the website Keep America At Work to try and get my resume in front of people so I could get back to work.
It never happened, but I began hearing from others who were going through what I was going through and together we began to put together a picture and I gradually realized we were importing more workers than we were creating jobs for which was forcing American Citizens out of the workforce.
Fast forward to today where we have Vivek and Elon telling our political leaders that Americans are not good enough to work in the future that they visualize.
After nearly 22 years of very little work, and spending that time learning, I can guarantee you that until we find a way to stand united by telling our stories in one place so that the mainstream media can no longer sweep us under the carpet, it will grow worse.
So I have created this place where you can tell your story.
If for some reason, you don’t want to use this site, pick one or create one, but find a single searchable site where all of us can tell our stories so that the average reader will realize the problem is not our skills, but the tidal wave of guest workers being imported to take our jobs, and the remaining best paying jobs being sent to other countries.
