True, but they have never shown these factors so relative to past unemployment numbers it still shows a decrease.

It has a larger effect on the lower number than the higher one though.

In other words, it would have more of an effect on the decrease than the increase, correct?

Agreed-Of course nobody in a position of authority will go on record admitting that. Unless Starbuck's has opened a few thousand new locations, I'd love to know where these new jobs they keep talking about are coming from.

I see. Since nobody has quantified it, it doesnt exist? You should go into politics. Or join the press.

If we stop illegal immigration, we'll have at least 4.7% more jobs that qualified workers can take, and all our problems will be solved. Would you like fries with that?

Yes because if you don't vote straight republican, you're gay.

Nice thing on your helmet, BTW. Very masculine.

Voting straight republican has nothing to do with being gay. When you let some dude put his penis in your ass/mouth, that makes you gay. You are also gay if you put your penis in some dude ass/mouth. I can't vote for somone who likes/supports or encourages this type of behavior. So I don't vote for Democrats.

Democrats also want to take away my guns so that also makes me dislike them.

Theres a little more to it than that. The pay for those jobs make even poverty level unatainable. It starts with the businesses that support that low level of wages. The reason why the workers are called "Migrants" is because they go where the work is-They have no homes, sometimes no families to support. Imagine what would happen if not only were business blocked from using illegal labor, but forced to pay a fair wage to legimate citizens in need of work.

One thing that should be done is that companies that outsource jobs overseas should be penalized. When that miserable tw@t Carly Fiorina (Former CEO of Hewlett Packard) laid off hunderds of support staff and outsorced their jobs to call centers in India, she said that "America doesnt have a god given right to jobs."

My take on it is that Hewlett Packard doesnt have a god given right to expect my support, so when I consult for a client looking for I.T. equipment, Hewlett Packard Equipment never, ever makes it onto my list.

There are too many American companies that are allowed to ruin the lives of our citizens in order to line the pockets of their upper management teams. How many times have you called a company for some kind of information and spoken to somebody who you couldn
