Your view doesn't fly either, drive around and look at the "help wanted" signs.The businesses that went out of main street were the ones too stupid to realize that customer service was going to save the day. Wal-Mart and Home Depot can't match my local hardware store and lumber yard. I go there because they know me and they'll help me. In fact I walk out of Home Depot in frustration more than I buy something, I don't even know why I try to go there other than to look at things that I end up buying locally or online. Their customer service sucks. The problem is the people that won't take jobs that are "beneath them" which is where traditionally the illegal alien has come in. A friend of mine runs a fish farm where they raise fish for fancy restaurants, he says they can't keep staff and have a hard time finding anybody that really wants to work. Mike Rowe has an excellent Facebook feed where he talks about the entitlement culture and how young people seem to all think they're going to be CEO in 2 years... -Curt

The books have been cooked. Drive down any main street in any town in America today and count the closed businesses. The cumulative effect is jobs lost in every one of them, not replaced by new industry. "Creative reporting" to get re-elected ... facts are facts.. jobs are scarce, hours worked are down, if you have one, manufacturing orders are flat lined, so new hires to fill future orders are flat lined..
