Are you concerned about a lost generation abandoned by Obama? Conservatives show they are, what about the left?

Have Americans recognized yet how dismal and increasingly useless credentials have become with the ugly economy and employers’ avoidance of graduates here in favor of H-1B's, LPR's and illegal migrants for jobs?

Government data shows more than 750,000 H-1B visas having been awarded under Obama, including renewals, in response to employers claiming our domestic workforce hasn't been sufficiently trained for their jobs. The State Department issues this special visa once an employer petitions for, then guarantees a job for the foreign national to secure a coveted H-1B visa that's growing in numbers under Obama's shift from American workers to outsiders his Administration favors.

That doesn't touch the 1.1 million LPR's awarded green cards for each of the President's first few years, which has been upped to nearly 1.25 million more recently. Those on the left in support of increasing immigration numbers who claim national sovereignty is outdated, continue their fight to boost that count to 2 million. For perspective, the highest workforce participation rate according to BLS statistics belongs to Hispanic males who are employed at 81.7% of their recognizable numbers in the U.S. The next highest group of participants is foreign born males, who show a 79.6% workforce participation rate. Lagging behind those prized and almost always working individuals are native born college graduates, including those with masters, doctorates and professional degrees, at a 75.0% participation rate. For the math challenged here, our brightest and best educated home-grown talent lags behind south-of-the-Border newcomers by 6.7% for employment after completing their extensive higher education training.

Pair those puzzling numbers with the loss of 107 million jobs through early October, according to summarized Department of Labor data released every Thursday by the ETA, since January 24, 2009, and there should be little misunderstanding about why nearly three times as many unemployed have been dropped from BLS counts as those returned to work under this Administration. Keep in mind, as well, the Digest of Education Statistics shows just over 3.5 million college graduates, including those with advance degrees, for five successive years now under Obama. Between 1.1 and 1.2 million high school graduates choose to enter the workforce without higher education credentials, and several hundred thousand more are prepped and ready for employment through trade schools annually. With the undergraduate rate of enrollees who never complete degrees ranging from 35 to 38% over the past five years, another million-plus need to be factored into numbers of our age-appropriate newcomers looking for entry into the workforce.

Together, the above data from secondary and post-secondary institutions nationwide, show at least 28 to 30 million of our own young adults seeking jobs since Obama's been in Office. Pair that with the H-1B visa newcomers, the nearly 6 million LPR's, and the increasing, unabated migration across the Southern Border this Administration demands ICE and Border Patrol agents apply "prosecutorial discretion" for (a euphemism for catch-and-release policies without threat of arrest) in place of actual enforcement of laws across the region, and there are another 10 million-plus newcomers desperate for jobs in the President’s painfully shrunken economy.

Back to the ETA real nationwide counts, employers' payroll records showed a workforce of 133,886,830 gainfully employed contributors to the economy in January 2009. That number has come back from 8.3 million jobs lost by midyear 2011 to a total of 129,827,178 in September, which remains 4,059,652 workers down from the workforce Obama inherited. That's right. This Administration remains more than 4 million jobs down on the DOL's verified nationwide counts, which differs from the BLS' survey-based estimates, especially on seasonally adjusted figures, while almost 40 million newcomers were ready and sought entry to the workforce.

Do you think a few are going to be left behind, especially in light of the foreign born workers being hired ahead of our own graduates? It's safe to assume tens of millions of the soon-to-be 107 million experienced workers who filed as new registrants for unemployment after job losses are still in search of survival income. Aren't you glad we're told regularly how the economy has turned and the Obama Administration has worked its magic to provide opportunities for all in his wondrous, impressive economy? Perhaps, somewhere in the President's stoner's mind from years ago, referenced in his autobiographical texts, there is such a thing somewhere for a small percentage of Americans. Maybe we're supposed to be satisfied the American dream is increasingly available to foreigners.
