Jewish CEO of Starbucks says company will hire 10,000 refugees

So with all the demographic blocks in America that need jobs, his priority is to refugees.

National Unemployment Rate 4.7%
Just a sample, unemployment among:
Black youth age 16-19 36%
Unmarried Females ages 55-65 11.3%
Single Mothers 11.2%
Female Veterans 8.9%

I'll be getting my coffee from the gas station.

Their coffee isn't hat good anyway

In 2013 starbucks announced a program to hire 10,000 veterans over 5 years. To date they have hired 8800. But somehow that gets left off the latest outrage. Also, the refugee hiring is globally, not in the US alone. The fact is that vets can apply for any open position at stores like these. But many, just like many other Americans, realize they can't pay their bills or support their families on minimum wage jobs that don't pay enough to get over the poverty level. So they decide to not apply and keep waiting for a better opportunity.

A friend of mine is third generation orange grove owner in FL. At the height of the last recession I asked him about his work force. He said that they were entirely hispanic, probably half legal and half using fake documents. I asked him if he got many white US citizens looking for jobs since the conservatives always say the immigrants are stealing Americans jobs and he laughed. He said he has never had a white US citizen apply to work in his orange groves. He said they wouldn't consider working that hard for those wages.

So let's not pretend that all those people listed in the demographics are all willing to apply for any job available at any wage. It just isn't true.
