Full title: The US is 'almost out' of qualified workers, and more immigration is the answer, JPMorgan strategist says

Excerpt:

Quote
While job growth in December disappointed and the unemployment rate got worse, the chief global strategist at JPMorgan Funds warned Friday that the U.S. labor force is running out of "well-qualified" American workers.


"We actually need more immigration," David Kelly told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street," calling into question any policies that restrict skilled immigrants from entering the U.S. to take jobs that can't be filled by the existing labor pool.

"We need these workers," he stressed. "We're almost out of well-qualified native-born workers."



With 95 million Americans out of the labor force, Wall Street cries for more immigration. Try a bit of Economics 101, Wall Street. Raise wages and watch well-qualified American citizens come out of the woodwork to fill those jobs.
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.

There's 10,000 skilled workers available from Macy's...

Of course, Wall Street will say they aren't the right kind of skilled workers.

Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce just can't survive without bringing in more foreign workers that they can pay less to employ.
