The Business Insider has a very interesting chart outlining some of the most popular jobs held by immigrants in all 50 states. Many of the jobs listed consist of cooks, miscellaneous agricultural worker, housekeepers, waiters janitors and so on. Only a handful of states have immigrants holding better jobs, like college teachers and software developers.
It’s the type of chart that should be viewed by Donald Trump and others who continually purport the myth that foreigners are stealing all the jobs that should be held by American citizens. Yeah, when was the last time you saw a middle class millennial, who yearns of teaching college students philosophy and Marxism while sipping on $10 lattes, want to work as a truck driver or groundskeeper when they get older? It’s not very many.
The fact is is that many of these jobs go unfilled and someone needs to do it.
