President. the shortages are going to get worse. because our domestic supply of workers is growing more slowly. Unless we take definitive action. these shortages will limit our economic expansion. increase inflation. and hurt the U.S. competitive position in the world economy. Mr. President. how do we solve the labor shortage? The sponsors of S. 358 say let immigration help relieve the Nations labor shortage. Under the bill. the Department of Labor would develop lists of occupations in which there is a short supply of workers to meet current or future demand. Foreign workers in occupations which are experiencing or will likely experience a shortage of U.S. workers would receive a preference.
