JGD I take it you've not looked at labeling these days. Housewares and clothing, almost everything, "Made In China". Produce labels, Mexico, Chile, Argentina and other South American locales. Canned goods, China, Thailand, Singapore, India, Vietnam. Most cars, Mexico, Canada.

One poor SOB in Boston, 100 hours a week, unpaid, in exchange for sleeping in the store at night.
Predatory employment is well beyond craigslist. Illegal immigrants, "temporary" immigrants for seasonal and white collar work.
"jobs Americans won't do", abuse, predator employers,

"skills shortage", except there's no shortage, just looking for cheap/captive,

Hiring an immigrant should mean a) green card upon hire and b) double the going wage rate. They'll continue to be abused while captive. They'll continue to be replacing citizens so long as cheaper, because they're captive.
Hiring illegal, yank their business license.

But they didn't. They said international trade is good, give China WTO entry. And then Walmart went at the vendors with a crowbar, offshore or we'll boot you out of our stores. And then the rest of the businesses followed. Hmmm, now who do we know from Walmart's home base Arkansas...??? And who pushed for China to enter WTO...??? What they did say was it'd be replaced with "service jobs" which has become part time suppressed min wage "Welcome To Walmart" and "Do you want fries with that?". Then sprinkled with bitter, "uneducated", "unmotivated", "welfare queen", "lazy", when they need public assistance with food stamps, Section 8 housing, etc.
Euphomisms:
"globalism", the scheme in which labor's paid the lowest, on the other side of the planet, and yet the prices spike upon entering the western consumer market, while somehow "magically", the profit part is suddenly Irish.
"those left behind", those who's employment opportunity is totally screwed by work offshored and import of a new underclass, immigrant labor.

The masses allowed it to happen? Really? I thought it was our corrupt congress allowing corporations to write legislation so they have monopolies, suppress wages, create a labor glut with immigrants who're also grossly underpaid and abused, had over $7.2 trillion in bailouts, subsidies, no bid contracts, tax havens, non-fiduciary investment advice to the public, loan shark payday loans, trash prescription drugs, etc.
Well, this could go on for miles.

She's a good facade story.
"Companies are fighting scrapping over the same small number of STEM workers." The small number of STEM workers she's talking about are the cheapest of the cheap, foreign OPT students, for whom they have to pay no employer taxes. Where "career path" is "will work for green card" path.
"largest employer"
Well, unfortunately small businesses are the largest employers in the country, who they're remarkably wiping out, by skating on their tax bills, who their competitors can't escape.
"career choice"
Is not helpful, nor realistically available, to warehouse workers who finish their work day utterly exhausted.
"we pay 95% of tuition"
is not helpful, nor realistically available, to warehouse staff for whom $15 an hour is non-living wage.
