There has been a "desperate nursing shortage" my whole adult life, and I'm older than the hills. This is also an answer to those who think unionization is the answer. Two fields with the greatest chronic shortages are nursing and public education (elementary and secondary), and both are unionized. The real shortage is in pay and working conditions. The free market could correct that if government quit interfering.
10% unemployment but H1B visas accelerating

Imported workers will never complain about working conditions. They pay their own way here. You worked them full time at the hospital, then have them do the paper work (all the cover-the as** stuff that takes up 1/3 or more of the nurse time) on their own time when they are off shift duty with no extra pay.
One thing our government can do to make jobs more available to Americans is to stop importing so many workers (IT, etc) in so many Americans are out of work!
When there is a true labor shortage, a more liberal immigration policy makes sense. That is not the case now!
This transaction tax would lose more jobs than it create!

There are enough IT workers with many years of experience out of work!
Why more American teenagers/ college students don't study math and sciences?
Because theyare seeing companies export jobs or hire foreign workers.
H1-B's are indentured for many years, they cannot change jobs! That is one reason employers prefer them!
There are enough unemployed IT workers but there aren't engineers, programmers etc..Besides is this the former Soviet Union? If there are talented engineers and programmers out there we should grab them before the competition does i.e. EU, China, Brazil etc. or should we rot this country from the inside,out because we have unemployed Americans without neccessary skills or talent. Doesn't history give us enough examples of countries that lost their luster due to arrogance or people and their governments losing their way. WAKE UP!!!
Just so I understand you, if business was left up to itself, pay and working conditions would suddenly improve? Thatâs like sending the fox to guard the hen house.
As unions and governmentâs control have slowly dwindled away over the past decades, wages have declined. The free market cares about the bottom line, not employees.
Exactly! There's a reason why America has always been so far ahead. It's because all the best talent of the world chooses to move here and work. Immigration is precisely what is keeping America strong. Once we start losing immigrants, we lose our luster and success.
I have no problem with immigrants coming to America to work. I'd much rather have that than for American companies to offshore.
Do you hear that, stupid American people? You are a bunch of unskilled, no talent losers. Get down on your knees you fat lazy slobs and thank the immigrants for saving our country.
Dealmaker and tradestrong see the truth; we need more immigrants. The country is rotting from the inside out. We are losing our luster. WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
