I am sorry that the list of unemployed is growing (and growing and growing)!
However, I understand the FBI is hiring:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]FBI looking to hire thousands by Richard Essex /Eyewitness News:
Indianapolis - Despite a slumping economy and constant news of layoffs, the FBI is desperate to hire thousands of new employees.
They have been called "G-men" and "The Feds" and their blue shield is almost instantly recognized, but what goes on behind the doors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is often very much misunderstood. …

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('misterno', 'w')hat suprises me is that I still see many people around me working with H1B or H2B visas. These people are foreigners and truly they do not deserve to be employed while American born citizens are out of work. I can not believe the number of illegal immigrants and their kids working all over the gas stations, restaurants and pizza places. They may not pay well but at least it is better than being unemployed for any American citizen.

Sell your house
Take the money and rent a cheap trailer in the mountains.
The money from the house should give you rent for two years.

You don't need to plan for longer than that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('misterno', 'D')o I have to see Americans turned away from jobs with my naked eye? Or as common sense, I can look around and see there are millions of unemployed Americans while more millions working illegally right infront of our nose and nobody is asking why.

[misterno]

I never said H1B holders are illegal, I don't know where you get that idea from.

Funny, you are mentioning Americans did not care about the jobs that illegals are holding and now why are we interested with these jobs that we did not want 6 months ago?

First of all, this is not a question an illegal immigrant can ask because he or she does not belong in here so he/she has no right to speak about issues concerning American citizens or anything related to USA. Just the fact that he is earning money and slavering his labor illegally without permission from US authorities does not give him the right to speak or judge US.

Secondly, Americans can desire and/or inquire about any position at any part of the country anytime they want. America keeps the right to cancel the working visas to these legal immigrants at any time with or without any reason and she should do so immediately.
I can not believe I am still arguing to prove 2X2=4. What a waste of time on my part but it is god damn tempting.

I dont have troubles right now, but once I faced the nessesity to survive in the second most expensive city in the world, with $60, for 3 months. 10 days later I had $10. I lost 50 pounds without lifting a finger, in 3 months, and nearly died of duodenial ulcer. In the end, i couldnt eat or drink anything at all, and was vomiting bile and stomack juice 10-15 times a day. My main wish was to crawl into some bushes and pass away there peacefully without disdainfull pouts of passer-bys. That sucked, to put it lightly.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')ilfield services giant Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB) has begun laying off hundreds of workers in the U.S. and around the world in the first of what experts say will likely be a wave of job cuts in the energy industry.
Halliburton Co. (HAL), Schlumberger's largest rival, said Thursday that it also will be cutting jobs, but provided no details.
Schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services firm by market capitalization, said Thursday that it plans to lay off about 1,000 workers in North America, about 5% of its workforce there. The company also is cutting some of its 65,000 overseas workers but said it does not yet have exact figures.

I have also seen the arguement that Visa holders actually helped increase employment in the host country because they are highly skilled people who help a company become successful and grow, thus needing to hire more local workers.
As the case has been made, these Visa holders are the last resort for a co. to turn to. If they could have found a national to do the job they surely would have. Much less hassle with paperwork, relocation, etc.
This downturn may change the demand for such people but that was surely the case in the good years.

I was thinking more of highly educated Engineers, Professors, Medical people etc. not telemarketers.

But yeah, I guess there are examples for both scenarios, scams and legitimate needs.
