Like other Palm Beach County employers who staff their clubs with foreign workers, President Donald Trump is boosting the number of employees he’s bringing from overseas this winter.

Trump won permission to hire 70 maids, cooks and servers at the Mar-a-Lago Club for the 2017-18 tourist season, according to newly released data from the U.S. Labor Department. In 2016-17, Trump hired 64 foreign workers at the Palm Beach property.

The trend is similar throughout Palm Beach County. Employers won permission to hire 2,159 workers for low-paying temporary gigs this winter, up from 1,844 in the 2016-17 tourist season, according to a Palm Beach Post analysis of federal data.

A strong labor market seems to confirm employers’ claims that they can’t find the workers they need. Palm Beach County’s unemployment rate fell to just 3.6 percent in September, its lowest level in a decade.

3. "Can't find the workers they need" (who are willing to work for peanuts)

It's the same bullshit lies companies use to bring in foreign technical and engineering talent. They whine and moan about not being able to fill vacant positions, yet fail to mention that they're only offering half of the prevailing wage.

Fucking greedy bastards.

4. What happened to 'hire Americans'?

Donald should pay the coal miners to come work for him.

Trump is right about this: Americans need to move where the jobs are

14. The Washington Post reported additional facts on how trump hid the "jobs" from LOCAL Americans-

In July, the club placed an ad on Page C8 of the Palm Beach Post: “3 mos recent & verifiable exp in fine dining/country club,” the ad said. “No tips,” Fahrenthold reported.

The ad, which ran twice, gave no email address, mailing address or phone number and instructed applicants to “Apply by fax.” from Washington Post Clive Wootson Jr. November 5 at 4:27 PM
