## Resource

Recent studies suggest ICE raids and stricter immigration policies are worsening workforce shortages across the United States. Many immigrant workers fear deportation, especially in labor-intensive industries such as agriculture, construction, and hospitality. As a result, fewer workers are available to take these physically demanding, low-paying jobs. President Donald Trump claimed stricter policies would protect “Black jobs” and benefit U.S.-born workers. However, many of these jobs still remain unfilled across the country. Some experts argue these labor shortages also hurt U.S.-born workers and contribute to the failure of businesses dependent on this workforce. In this episode, I discuss the impact of current immigration reform on America’s labor market. #workforceshortage #workershortage #labormarket #immigrationreform #blackjobs Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/ #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
