In Phoenix, Foreign-Born Workers Find Jobs Faster
Ted Robbins, NPR morning report 2/17/2011
I heard this driving to work:
Poor Mareena lost her DHL job. She’d like to make $25 an hour, but will probably settle for $15/hr, if and when she finds something. She gets unemployment, for now.
Nasty energetic Luis, he lost his job, he has no papers (nudge, nudge) he gets no unemployment. He'll take a part-time job installing car alarms for $30/day.
What does this mean? Flexibility and desperation. If NPR thinks that Latinos are desperate, wait until the word gets out- the foreigners get the jobs, the native born do not. Lock, load, and lynch them.
