.....100,000 young workers are now in this country to take JOBS for the summer. Most from Europe.

.....50 million workers in this country are out of work

.....The US government sponsors this program.

They will be doing jobs that some say our young folks do not want to do, even in non summer. I suppose in reading the article it also includes " Today, more than 50 *million Americans of traditional working age are not employed, and yet a growing number of domestic jobs — from hotel clerks to nurses to computer scientists — are being performed by foreign-born workers."


"The Obama administration is going to great lengths to make sure Scherbina and about 100,000 other foreign student workers are not disappointed. Last summer, the popular program, aimed at creating good will abroad, was rocked by scandal when students working at a candy warehouse in Pennsylvania staged a protest, complaining of isolation and overwork.

On May 11, the State Department issued rules that ban foreign students from jobs that could be harmful, limited them to light, seasonal occupations that are not likely to displace U.S. workers and required closer scrutiny of their conditions."

I honestly do not know how I feel about this at all. There is a lot to digest in this article but have we really become such an entitled country that we want JOBS but not these jobs.

100,000 people ...that is quite a sum.

I would hope that this is read and discussed, because the entire thing makes me uncomfortable.
