Brett Lindstrom on Jobs

 

 


Guest worker program to bring workers to the state

While the state's unemployment rate of 1.9% sounds good, Lindstrom is concerned that it's too low and could be detrimental to the economy.

He said the state's agricultural industry has stepped up in creating employment opportunities in the state, but the big question is how to fill the jobs needed to grow the economy.

Lindstrom, an Omaha-area state senator, said there are more than 50,000 unfilled jobs in the state. He suggested a guest worker program for people who want to live and work in the United States, along with other ways to bring workers to the state.

Theresa Thibodeau said state funds should not be used to "help any immigrants that have come to our state illegally. Illegal immigration is bringing in crime, and it's an issue and it's hurting our public safety."
