What jobs do Americans want brought back?

Thanks to obama which is why we need a change from obama/Hillary.

The OP is no doubt in over her head. It seems she would rather talk in vague terms than getting down to the heart of the topic.

 

Yes, it takes a high IQ to get a CDL. Insert sarcasm here.
If illegal Mexicans can make it in the US, Americans can. And if they can't, they don't deserve to.

Guess they couldn't compete successfully.

 

Manufacturing, skilled labor. Right now the three major manufacturing sec tors left in the US is automobiles, oilfield, and firearms. A lot of the skilled electronic manufacturing jobs went overseas, not because of the lack of skilled labor, but because of government interference with excessive regulations and taxes. Labor unions are becoming a thing of the past as most workers see them as an arm of the Democratic party raising funds, not protecting the workers.
Government has also, through regulation, given rise to the ability of illegal aliens to obtain jobs. Used to be back in the 70's and 80's that a lot of teenagers would work for McDonalds and other fast food chains, also as cashiers at Target and Walmart. It's not that they wouldn't still, there are plenty of those jobs being taken by illegal aliens and retirees. the government has made it difficult to keep up with laws surrounding the hiring of minors, so many large corporations just don't anymore.

 

False choices....The right choice is ban and enforce.

 

Being paid cash under the table and doing just barely better than in Mexico does not mean they make it in the US... Meanwhile the presence of millions of illegal Mexicans is diluting the labor pool, spoiling employers and suppressing already low american wages, making it virtually impossible for americans to compete and earn a living.

 

Than perhaps the electorate should make that happen.

 

Sure, that's what this election is all about. That's what Trump is campaigning on (among other things of course).

 

Absolutely,once the illegals are gone.Black,white,mexican,other.It will free up quite a few jobs and take a burden off of social services.

What does illegals taking jobs from Americans have to do with me spending my electric and internet bill money to feed hungry people instead?

No,I'm going to pay my bills.

That's a huge leap there,sister.

 

I've lived in Iowa, Arizona, and California...all were the same

 

You don't even realize how idiot that statement is, do you?
Gawt. Why are you talking about the job market in my country and not yours?
Perhaps your wisdom is more wisely invested contemplating how your country might be more competitive.

Iowa, Arizona, and California were all the same?? Haha, howso?

 

Supply and demand dear. Artificially unlimited supply of cheap [foreign] labor while the demand remains relatively static leads to unemployment and wage stagnation. Economics 101, haven't you taken it?

 

How do you "boycott" illegal immigration/labor ?

Thats ridiculous on its face. You don't know who made your clothes when you buy them. Thanks to republicans we may never know because they blocked labeling of origins. And when the guys comes to your door to fix your plumbing, do you ask him for his green card or birth certificate ?

You claimed earlier that somehow it has to be "buyer beware" when getting things done, and thats just not possible. You cannot know everything, about everything (unless your a republican hack). Thats why we have laws that protect consumers from people who would take advantage of them. Those laws exist to protect both democrats and republicans. To think that in this day and age that we could live in a truly "buyer beware" society is laughable

UMMMMM, time to leave the bubble/fact free zone young lady:

"Obama has deported more immigrants than any other president. Now he’s running up the score."

Your just making sh1t up now

 

NO they are not

Profits are "revenue - costs". IT is those COSTS that pay salaries, NOT profits.

And since you live in a bubble, please understand that income taxes make up the lions share of tax revenues:

There is no shortage of minimum wage jobs in the US. People also pay $4 for Starbucks and it isn't scarce.
What's your interest in the US economy?

 

They are minimum wage jobs because of the influx of millions of illegal aliens willing to work for pennies and depressing the wages in the first place. Duh. Supply and Demand, Economics 101. You should take it

 

I don't think you understand how truly linited those in the 70-to-90 IQ range are. We have a lot of them, and they need jobs.

Trucking may not require a high verbal IQ, but it does require at least a decent performance IQ, as well as the ability to lift in many cases.

 

Tell me why again illegals deserve to be here in the first place please. Why should they have a shot over citizens and those legally here?

Not to mention having to truly understand and know the truck you are driving inside and out. I bet some people on here couldn't even pass a test on how the brakes function and how to use them.

 

Many coddled college- educated types have no clue how difficult it is to keep the real world going. It's one of the reasons some have such difficulty finding employment.

 

Lets take last things first.

Illegal aliens find jobs in America by the word of mouth.

Before you bring jobs back it would help if Americans have an idea what quality is and once they get the quality monkey on their backs, demanding quality instead of cheap stuff manufacturing will start returning to America.

Most Americans under 45 years of age don't even know what manufactured quality products are.

Put high tariffs on manufactured imported garbage.

Bring back the steel industry.

Bring back the ship yards and building merchant ships.

Bring back the electronics industry.

Bring back the tire industry.

Bring back the appliance industry (Refrigerators, stoves, washer, dryers, etc.)
Note: America's GDP use to be based on the production of durable goods)

Bring back the textile/apparel industry.

Bring back the footwear industry.

 

Here in New England and maybe upstatecNewYork we have had both legals and illegals from Canukistan AKA Canada for years. Sheet.rockers and roofers are virtually all French Canadians. They speak to themselves almost exclusively in French or shay passes for French this far from Paris.

It is very hard for Americans to get a sheet rocker job.

Ps sheet.rockers work the drywall installations.

The same us true for roofers.

 

You mean you do not know? How can you not know? What kind of bubble are you living in?

In my area, the jobs the people want brought back, are the jobs sent to mexico and china, that were living wage, middle class, manufacturing jobs that turned my town long ago from a working poor town, into a middle class town. And those factories mostly still stand, but are empty.

The way illegal Mexicans find jobs in my area, and its probably the same all over America, is that they show up at construction sites, and will work so much cheaper than americans who do not want to live together with other americans in cheap hotel rooms, 10 to a 2 bed room, eating salsa and tortilla chips, with peppers 3 times a day. My son in law was a contractor during the housing boom, the bubble, and employed 15 americans, with living wages. Then, as other contractors started breaking the laws, and layed off their americans, and hired illegal, keeping just an American foreman to supervise the Mexicans, he could not longer win bids, for he would not pay americans such low wages as his competition was doing. And, refusing to break the law, he was driven out of business. By illegal Mexican labor in construction.

Back when Bush was president, one of the lip service ICE raids was conducted on an electronics manufacturing plant south of me, and almost the entire work force were illegal Mexicans. They were carted off, and the factory was left with only a handful of americans, supervisors, foremans and office workers, and of course management. Over the years, Americans were laid off, or fired, and illegal were hired, at much cheaper wages, working poor wages, and their stock went up, as profits were maxed out. In the local paper two days later were pictures on the front page, of a line of americans, 1/4 a mile long in the early morning, waiting to file an application to be hired, or hired back, which the factory did.

Of course, you did not read any of what I just wrote, for you didn't really want an answer. You thought you knew the answer, but you actually didn't know (*)(*)(*)(*) from shinola, which is typical of the people who ask such questions. LOL

The only place we need Mexicans to work, is in agriculture, and low paying service sector work, like busting tables. And we could get these legally, but the illegals will work cheaper. So business would rather break the law and max out their profits, as it depresses wages in those sectors, hurting working people. If we got back our manufacturing so we once again made what we consume, this would free up the fast food jobs and walmart jobs for teens, who do not need to earn a living wage. But its hard for teens to get work here, because adults have to work, and they take these jobs. It is a helluva thing, what has been allowed to happen in America. And then the village idiots blame the working people for the greed of the elites. LOL

 

They undercut US wages.

Based on the most recent National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS)– a report published by the U.S. Department of Labor– farm workers work 42 hours per week and earn $7.25 per hour on average, but this “average” varies greatly. For example, workers who have worked for the same employer for multiple years earn more than other workers. Those who have been with an employer for a year or less earn an average of $6.76 per hour, and those who have been with the same employer for at least 6 years earn an average of $8.05 per hour.

American's won't work agriculture for $7 an hour. They would for $20. But, the wage pressure does not build to increase the pay of American workers because illegal aliens come in and undercut the American worker.

 

I lived in Windsor Ontario in the 1980s and saw it up close. Detroit was Coleman Young's cesspool long before NAFTA.

 

I want Americans to buy America. Not Japan, China, a d third world company nies products. And I agree with trump that when they exit the u.s.they should have to pay an exit tax. Also, it is you democrats that fail to pay a little more for u.s.produced products. Yet you complain that manufacturing is leaving the. Country. Are stupid or just don't want to pay more for american made products?
