The number of empty jobs employers are trying to fill has fallen from a record-high 11.9 million in March to 10.3 million. Good progress, but that is more than twice the 5 million job openings that were normally available pre-pandemic.

The Chamber of Commerce has even asked Congress to double the number of immigrants admitted every year, even as President Joe Biden has opened the floodgates to release about 100,000 illegal immigrants into the country every month.
