This might be more compelling if American unemployment wasn't at a quite low 3%. Even if we take into account how that number is reduced in volume, the issue with these jobs is not that Americans can't find them, it's that they don't want to take them. I don't mean to imply that Americans are being irrational or incorrect. Merely that the jobs you're referring to often aren't considered actionable by many Americans, and the numbers suggest this is a far more powerful factor. Perhaps if we agree to a higher minimum wage and more aggressively pursue affordable housing solutions near where these jobs are, then we can see other effects.
