We made a significantly downward push. But why? How? By changing the immigration laws to bring in more people from foreign nations who have the skills to come in and help our businesses compete. That is not the way it should be happening. We should not be looking toward amending immigration laws to supply our businesses with the skilled workers they need to meet the demands of the presentday jobs. This is another area that is of deep concern to me. Several years ago. we set up a skills panel to establish standards to measure whether we were meeting the goals of our industry.
