Episode quotes
Transcript
You see some Silicon Valley technology firms, especially the big firms, say that they are desperate for workers, that they can't find for work workers, that they have to use, you know, overseas visa programs to find workers. And yet, at the same time, the college educated employment rate for STEM graduates in this country seems to be declining. Yeah. Well, wait a second. If you're not hiring American workers coming out of colleges for these jobs, then how can you say that you have a massive shortage in these jobs? And by the way, you see some big tech companies where they'll lay off 9,000 workers and then they'll apply for a bunch of overseas visas. And
I I sort of wonder that doesn't totally make sense to me. That that displacement and that math worries me a bit. And what the president has said, he said very clearly, we want the very best and the brightest to make America their home. We want them to build great companies and so forth. But I don't want companies to fire 9,000 American workers and then to go and say we can't find workers here in America.
