"Job seekers now outnumber openings six to one, the worst ratio since the government began tracking open positions"

Why are we giving out 160,000 new green cards and new temporary work permits each month to working-age foreigners?

The NY Times didn't do a very good job of explaining the fact that job openings fell by 121,000 in July because new hires increased by 140,000 while total separations declined by 15,000. Lots of positions filled and fewer emptied. Seems like that should have been brought up a little more clearly...
