The job market is tight but the unskilled labor market is even tighter. For those with a high school diploma or less, fast food service or janitorial work seem to be the only options. Now even these jobs seem scarce as many immigrants, willing to work hard for long hours and minimum pay, have become the preferred work force for many companies. Are immigrants taking away jobs in the inner city? Or are others just too unwilling to work as hard? Are employers taking unfair advantage of immigrants, some who may not yet have citizenship? Our guest today, Nerissa Allegretti of NAFCON, discusses some of the issues that arise when immigrants come to America.
