Need 50 million U.S. Jobs


The U.S. population is approaching 320 million, with one net addition every 15 seconds. We have 24 hour days of 60 minutes each with 1440 minutes in a day.  15 seconds is a quarter of a minute (.25 minutes) so there are (4) 15 second segments each minute.  With 1440 minutes per day, there are 5760 15 second segments per day.  We have a net addition of 5,760 to the U.S. population every day. We add 1 migrant every 38 seconds. So we add 1.6 migrants per minute or 2304 per day.  By adding 5760 per day, we add 2,102,400 per year which figures to 175,200 additions to the population each month. About 70080 per month are migrants.   http://www.census.gov/popclock/

Our workforce participation rate is 62.8% of the working age population, the same as it was in 1978. Today 92.4 million working age Americans are not in the workforce. Workforce participation peaked at 67.5 in 2001 and dropped back to 62.8.  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-07/participation-rate-rebounds-36-year-low-only-924-million-americans-not-labor-force

There are 146,941,000 people with jobs in the U.S. and 25,000,000 are foreign born. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/ali-meyer/new-record-foreign-born-job-holders-break-25m

NAFTA alone has cost 1,000,000 US jobs lost. If these jobs had not been lost, we would have an extra million jobs for the 92.4 million Americans without jobs, but the NAFTA Cheerleaders got the numbers wrong.  http://www.citizen.org/documents/naftas-broken-promises.pdf

NAFTA wasn’t the only cause of our inability to hold on to jobs.  China, India Indonesia and everybody else bribed American companies to move there or have its manufacturing done there.   Job loss in the U.S.  The U.S. government sat on its hands and didn’t lower our 35% corporate income tax while other countries did. Obama announced plans to increase energy costs 5 fold by converting to “green” energy.

I saw quotes from Chinese companies offering to manufacture electronics for half the cost.  This service included concurrent engineering to redesign boards as components became obsolete and required redesign.  This has not always been fun and the cost advantages are narrowing.  The population of Metro Atlanta peaked at 6 million and settled back to 4 million.  Most manufacturing and engineering operations either moved back to their headquarters or moved overseas.

Reports of total job losses in the U.S. since 1993 are spotty. In 2013 7.5 million Americans lost jobs. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/07/07/1221878/-7-5-Million-Americans-Lost-Jobs-in-2013-so-far#

The U.S. economy has created about 150,000 jobs a month for the past 6 years. The economy is stagnant. 

The only responsible action we can take is to drastically cut immigration from all sources. We should refuse to take refugees from the middle-east and deport radical Muslims for obvious reasons. We should begin to relocate Military bases to the Mexican border to enforce Immigration laws. Welfare should be shut down for immigrants.

I would estimate that Americans have lost 50 million jobs since 1989.  Over that 25 year period, we somehow doubled immigration to over 1 million a year and have been immigrating over 2 million a year since 2008. Everybody else “went global” with our money. If the Progressive plan was to have immigrants to pay our social security, they got their numbers wrong too.
