Re: 54,000 new jobs. Half of them hamburger flippers?
The traditional entry-level job for young men when I was in my late teens and early twenties was construction (if you were fit enough to keep up). It paid well, even for a starting-out helper, and if you had any skills at all, it paid very well. And there were always jobs available. If you were a rural kid, there was always plenty of work in the orange groves. That's all done by illegals now.
Today, there are fewer jobs in construction in Florida, and the ones that do exist are held frequently by foreigners: Irishmen in the skilled trades, Latins in the grunt work.
The flap ain't over yet. We've just gotten used to burger flipping as better than nothing.
