Former Intel CEO Andy Grove is not someone who comes to mind when calling for action on U.S. jobs. Under his watch, Intel displaced U.S. workers with foreign guest workers, labor arbitraged, underpaid salaries, age discriminated and offshore outsourced manufacturing and jobs in droves. Their corporate culture was so notoriously vile, they even had their own personal protester, warning anyone who would listen to not work at Intel.

What happened I have no idea but Andy Grove just wrote the most specific and dynamite article, How America Can Create Jobs. He actually knows how to create high paying jobs because at one time Intel on it's path to the world's dominant computer processor maker, actually did manufacture in the United States.

This company must really suck. The Huffington Post has on their front page, a company who advertised a job which demands no one should apply if they actually need it! From Disturbing Job Ads:

In a current job posting on The People Place, a job recruiting website for the telecommunications, aerospace/defense and engineering industries, an anonymous electronics company in Angleton, Texas, advertises for a "Quality Engineer." Qualifications for the job are the usual: computer skills, oral and written communication skills, light to moderate lifting. But red print at the bottom of the ad says, "Client will not consider/review anyone NOT currently employed regardless of the reason."

In a nearly identical job posting for the same position on the Benchmark Electronics website, the red print is missing. But a human resources representative for the company confirmed to HuffPost that the The People Place ad accurately reflects the company's recruitment policies.

"It's our preference that they currently be employed," he said. "We typically go after people that are happy where they are and then tell them about the opportunities here. We do get a lot of applications blindly from people who are currently unemployed -- with the economy being what it is, we've had a lot of people contact us that don't have the skill sets we want, so we try to minimize the amount of time we spent on that and try to rifle-shoot the folks we're interested in.

A new study has been put out by EPI that proves foreign guest workers are all about cheap labor, technology transfer and not about immigration into the U.S.

In Bridge to Immigration or Temporary Cheap Labor?, we have these reasons corporations are busy using foreign guest workers.

Firstly, this post is not to endorse, condone, encourage or other such stuff as violence, suicide, murder-suicide, homicide, rampages or screwing with the IRS. If you do that you are out of your mind, hurting the cause you wish to bring to light and are just plain an idiot. You're also taking out external problems on yourself and others causing great suffering of innocent people. Do not go there, ever, ok?

If you're a techie and you got wiped out financially:

1. you are not alone

A new report screams and cries on how foreigners are not flooding the region in 2009.

Associated Press:

Silicon Valley is no longer able to attract the foreign talent which has been its "lifeblood" and funding innovation through locally raised venture capital and public offerings "can no longer be taken as a given," the report said.

The BLS has issued new report on Silicon valley employment. Bear in mind this report is before this recession.

In 2000 silicon valley had 544,387 techie jobs. By 2004, the California region tech hub had an official drop of 26% to 403,994 high technology jobs.

Now check out the pathetic growth after that. By 2008 the California Bay area had 435,958 technology jobs. That is 20% below the 2000 employment levels.

2002, the year of offshore outsourcing, the area lost 60% of the jobs.

How many even know it was Human Trafficking Prevention Month?

Well, it is and a story on H-1B being used as a human trafficking tool is how I even became aware of it.

A case that brought human trafficking to light in the Bay Area was the case of Lakireddy Bali Reddy, a Berkeley landlord convicted in 2001 for immigration fraud and trafficking minors for illegal sexual activity.
