Comments

The US Jobs deficit was 9.5 million in January 2021. This is the shortfall between jobs held in February 2020 vs September 2021.

Over 1.5 million illegal immigrants entered the US since January 2100. I expect they will take government welfare in addition to food service, landscaping, construction and drug cartel jobs. Afghan refugees could exceed 100,000.
