In the county I live in we have a lot of industry that have decent jobs. High rate of pay, benefits, etc. We also have a lot of entry level jobs.
I've been in mental health for the last 15 years for my jobs. The last 12 of which specifically to help people with disabilities find employment and provide job training. My job duties are basically to help you find appropriate work, and then to train you on the job. So the disabilities have a wide variety of ranges from people with substance abuse, mental illness, developmental delays, and autism. Most years I've had to be really creative to help people find jobs and that has certainly been the most difficult part of my career. Training on jobs is easy because I'm finding appropriate work, finding appropriate work/interviewing is brutal. It was very very brutal when unemployment was high and everyone was fighting for entry level jobs.
The last two years I've enjoyed the most success with my work and have found about 60% more jobs for people. The industrial businesses all expanded with their tax cuts and they literally cannot find workers. Most people in the entry level other jobs moved to the industry high paying benefited jobs. This opened a lot of doors for my clients because Employers are now desperate to fill positions and more willing to overcome stereotypes and give my clients a chance where as before a lot of them never got a second look for whatever reason.
How are you saying a low unemployment rate doesn't increase job opportunities and bring more workers and more taxes into the system?
