This is the major takeaway. All the boomers continue to retire at a clip that outpaces young adults joining the workforce. We need to increase legal immigration in order to meet our workforce needs.
No sorry.
Employers need to pay the wage that will entice people to work.
Immigration just keeps everyone poor and breaks the "free market".
Haha. Biden is talking this morning about the jobs report. I guess they thought it was going to be great and now he will have to spin it another way. They will push his spending package. BTW, according to the WSJ, they didn't figure out what needed to be done and figure out how much it would cost. They proposed a huge number and are going to figure out where it will be spend later. Unbelievable.

Are you serious about increasing illegal immigration or being facetious? If serious, disregard rep.
We need to stop paying young adults (or mid-stage adults) to refuse to accept jobs. THAT is how we will meet our workforce needs. Seems like liberals want to bribe Americans to go on the dole (for the votes) and then bring in swarms of illegals to do the work needed.
I support weaning off the unemployment benefits and fully expect that to not magically solve the country’s serious and prolonged labor shortage. Your other comment is conspiratorial nonsense.

I said legal immigration, not illegal immigration. Do you understand the difference?

People were "enticed" to work for much lower wages pre-COVID. Jobs that were being accepted at $11 an hour are now going unfilled at $18 an hour.
The difference? The government is competing with business - bribing their former employees to refuse to take jobs. Get the government, with its endless printing press, out of the picture, and people would start to work again.

Then explain why our government is paying people not to work AND welcoming in illegals with open arms.

1) COVID caused approximately 9.6 million Americans to lose their jobs in 2020. Many of those jobs have returned while some haven’t. The COVID relief was badly needed for many of these people.
2) It also caused many Americans to retire early and many mothers to leave their job to stay at home with their kids. These people left the workforce and haven’t returned.
3) Nobody is “welcoming Illegals with open arms.” You need to lay off your disinformation.
Unfortunately, like most things in this economy, this isn't necessarily an honest indicator of anything. Companies regularly publish fake job openings to keep the visa worker pipeline open.
