back in the 70s and 80s there were HELP WANTED signs on half the businesses. But in the last 4 years, I hardly EVER see a HELP WANTED sign (and I live in Houston).

Also, there used to be LOTS of engineering and technical jobs in the Technical Jobs section of the newspaper Help Wanted ads (and this was well before the Internet Bubble years).

What happened is that our leaders sold out our domestic menial shopkeeper type jobs to the third world immigrants (both legal and illegal), and then they sold out many of our white collar jobs to imported engineers (H1B and L1 visas) and to outsourcing.

I say we just hang 'em all in Washington Mall and get in a new bunch of politicos who know the consequences of economic treason.
