Why Can’t Americans Find Jobs?
Paul Craig Roberts
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80 to 90 percent of net new jobs since 2020 went to foreign-born workers. Independent estimates conclude that 88 percent of new jobs went to foreign-born people. What this means is that in the five-year period, 2020-2025, foreign born individuals took 4,700,000 of the 5,345,000 new jobs, leaving only 645,000 jobs for native-born Americans.
Economists who shill for corporations and banks and globalism’s advocates interpret this information falsely in a self-serving way. They claim with no evidence that the numbers prove that there is a labor shortage in the US and that the immigrant-invaders and H1-B visa imported guest workers are filling in the gaps left by retiring boomers and falling birth rate.
But what the facts show is that during this five year period, the US labor force participation rate dropped by 2 percentage points, which means 5,500,000 native-born Americans exited the work force. Frustrated by the inability to find a job, Americans ceased looking. Many live with parents or other relatives. Some are in the cash economy. Some have migrated to the scam economy created by the digital revolution. Social media provides examples of people who cannot find a job because employers prefer immigrant-invaders and H1-B visa guest workers. https://patriots.win/p/1ATCNQUfkQ/in-the-last-12-months-7080-of-jo/c/
There are a variety of reasons why employers prefer undocumented immigrant-invaders and H-1B guest workers. One reason is that they are paid at least one-third less. The lower labor cost results in higher corporate earnings and performance bonuses for executives and boards. Another reason is that both undocumented workers and work visa workers are essentially slaves. They cannot organize or protest abusive conditions. If they do, the employer terminates them. There are no grounds for lawsuits. The H-1b visa workers are sent home. The undocumented workers have lost a paycheck and face deportment.
Another reason is that in America today even poor kids grow up spoiled. Child Protective Services has made it difficult and risky for parents to discipline their children, because CPS regards most discipline as child abuse. Spoiled or undisciplined children do not develop responsible work attitudes.
Another reason is the risk of lawsuits from American female employees alleging some form of sexual harassment. For decades feminists have taught American women that they are sexually harassed, and they grow up believing it. Some see it in every look, every word. This is not to deny that it exists. It is simply to say that feminists have made it risky to hire an American woman, especially an attractive one. Undocumented and guest workers have no grounds for lawsuits.
Feminists never bothered to think about the possible consequences for women of their shrill attacks on men. Most men do not want them in executive ranks and on boards because the risk is higher than the value. Consider what feminists board agitation against men did to the profits of Bud Light and Gillette.
Of course American men are getting weaker and more sheep-like, and they might be eventually displaced by women or by immigrant-invaders. Determined people tend to succeed better than weak and sheepish ones. Time will tell.
What we can conclude from this article is that crime and public support cost of immigrant-invaders while large is not as large of a cost as the inability of native born Americans to find employment.
The displacement of US citizens is rapidly increasing. Already in the US the percentage of foreign born workers in the US work force is 19.1 percent. Essentially one-fifth of the American work force is not American. The overrunning of all Western countries is proceeding at a rapid pace. White ethnic nations are disappearing.
