The job market never fully rebounded after 2008. A big part of this is that a lot of jobs were outsourced

Jobs had been outsourced way before that, and the majority of jobs lost during the Great Recession were not the kind of jobs that it is economical to outsource. You're pulling shit out of your ass to justify your fear of 'furriners'.

Haven’t you heard about the Great Resignation and the Great Attrition? Do you know why two interconnected events occurred?

Because an unprecedented public health crisis led to a reduction in the amount of work available? By your logic, COVID should have resulted in employees being more exploited. But I don't know why I'm expecting consistency from an anti-immigration crusader.

Because ever since 2008, companies have been exploiting their workers by overworking, underpaying, and mistreating them.

I got bad news for you. It goes back way before 2008.

If there were more jobs, companies wouldn’t be able to take advantage of their employees.

That's not even close to true.
