Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell recently said: “Despite our high unemployment rate, 300,000 jobs are unfilled. » This large number of unfilled jobs is shocking, as it appears that most people around the world are more concerned than ever about their job security and fluctuating unemployment rates. For example, many high school students today are asked, especially by their teachers, to choose a major that will generate high demand for jobs after they graduate from college. Additionally, most people have priorities when looking for a job, and more often than not, job security is at the top of their list. Certainly, job demand and security have always played an important role, but since the financial crisis of 2009, they seem to play a much greater role. However, after reading Kim Campbell's quote, I was stunned by the number of unfilled jobs. There can be many reasons why people don't apply, but one common reason is that people simply don't like doing certain jobs. Unfortunately, this leads to unnecessary suffering for families and many businesses without a strong workforce. One of the sectors that has recently had difficulty recruiting workers is agriculture. There is no doubt that agricultural work is one of the most physically demanding jobs; Farmers often work on their feet all day in the scorching summer heat while carrying large, heavy buckets of produce. For this reason, American farms are not able to recruit many citizens willing to work. Therefore, a human resources problem arises as many farms are wondering whether or not they should hire illegal immigrants to address their labor shortage. If they choose not to hire illegal immigrants, the labor gap will persist; so, there may not be enough workers to work middle of paper......, with the knowledge I gained in class. U.S. citizens may not accept agricultural jobs only because of the physical demands it places on workers, but also because of the low wages and limited benefits offered. These are some of the reasons why 300,000 jobs go unfilled every year (“Kim Campbell Quotes”). Additionally, in the current state of the economy, many companies do not have the funds to offer workers high wages and numerous benefits in hopes of recruiting or retaining them. However, I believe that if a company provides its employees with a safe and friendly working environment, workers will be happy and motivated to work hard, which will ultimately translate into profitability and future salary increases. However, if discrimination persists in this sector, even immigrants (illegal or legal) may be reluctant to accept these jobs...
