Life is far more complicated than it was in the 1950s and 1960s. I'm a
lifelong fan of newspapers and I used to read our hometown paper cover
to cover every night, including the classifieds, and there were
literally hundreds of jobs available and advertised every night for
unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers. This continued in the
1960s...I got summer jobs my first years in college via a couple of
local unions, because they couldn't fill the jobs any other way - there
was a shortage of workers. I worked at a boiler factory, a razor
factory, and a brewery over three successive summers, and for pretty
good pay. These companies were always looking for more workers. It was
easy to get a job. That's not true these days.


Yet 11 million (probably many more) latinos come here without any
significant education, not speaking the language, facing far more
discrimination than American "minorities" and still find work.
