    | Hira's study also dealt with two other labor market variables:
    | unemployment rates and wages.
    |
    | He quoted an earlier statement by then Microsoft President Brad
    | Smith that at one time the IT unemployment rate was 3.4 percent as
    | opposed to the national rate of 4.0 percent; Hira regarded this as
    | an apples and oranges comparison; one should expect a much higher
    | rate for the nation as a whole than in a specific and largely
    | prosperous industry.
    |

    | hiring large numbers of foreign workers to reduce payments to

    || The topic of compensation is noticeably absent from many
    || discussions about the STEM workforce, even though it is arguably the
    || most direct and important measure. In a market economy, as a 2001
    || National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine study
    || explains, "When demand exceeds supply in a particular occupation,
    || compensation tends to rise relative to compensation in other
    || occupations that require similar education, effort, and working
    || conditions." Simply put, when a shortage exists in an occupation,
    || the relative earnings of those workers are expected to rise. Yet
    || recent data show no such increases for many STEM jobs.

    Will Trump invite the likes of Mike Emmons onto the Save America
    campaign stage?

    help a Democratic nominee for president. Whitmer and Team Biden
    repeatedly blamed Trump--but none of it was true:
