If you're unemployed, or underemployed, or involuntarily retired, because you lack the crucial skills our job creators desperately need in the rapidly expanding fields of math, science and technology. They'd be perfectly happy to hire you but for your own sorry inadequacies. Everybody knows this!
Also too, cheap labor:The EPI study found that the United States has “more than a sufficient supply of workers available to work in STEM occupations.” Basic dynamics of supply and demand would dictate that if there were a domestic labor shortage, wages should have risen. Instead, researchers found, they’ve been flat, with many Americans holding STEM degrees unable to enter the field and a sharply higher share of foreign workers taking jobs in the information technology industry . . . H-1B workers are paid an estimated 20 percent less than their American counterparts.
Good thing we're agreed that their taxes need to be lowered. It won't solve the jobs problem, though!
