Just curious, what trades were these people working that they lost due to illegals? I find it hard to believe that there is a widespread job loss for skilled trade people.
- mberning 8y agoConstruction is one example. Doing drywall or carpentry is a highly skilled job. There are many subs that only employ illegals, bid really low on jobs, and drive out legitimate subs.
- johnnyfaehell 8y agoLast time I checked there were tons of construction work, in fact, I believe there is an undersupply skilled in that field. It's the unskilled construction jobs that are at risk for legals. Also, doing drywall isn't highly skilled, it's job you get anyone to do with a few days of training (hell you could get away with not doing the training)
- mberning 8y agoYeah, there is a lot of demand for work, and illegal labor drives down the price. You are out to lunch on doing drywall being easy. To be a pro (quality work done fast every day of the week) at hanging and finishing drywall is not something you get good at in 2 days.
- johnnyfaehell 8y ago> finishing drywall is not something you get good at in 2 days. I never said get good at it within that time but you learn the skills required. Practice is how you get good. Highly skilled jobs take a long period of time just to learn the skills required. Hence drywalling is a low skill job.
