    Majority of undocumented immigrants work in low-skill jobs, report finds - March 26, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Undocumented immigrants hold more white-collar jobs and fewer blue-collar jobs today than they did before the national recession of 2007-2009, but most remain concentrated in lower-skilled, low-paying jobs, much more so than U.S.-born workers, according to a report released Thursday by the Pew Research Center in the District.

    The report, based on a five-year study from 2007 to 2012, found that the size of the illegal immigrant workforce has remained at 5.1 percent of all workers, even though the total number of illegal immigrants has fallen from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007 to about 11.2 million in 2012.

    Overall, it described an undocumented workforce that has stabilized during a period of economic recovery and has moved up in certain semi-skilled and professional occupations, but that has remained limited by language barriers, poor education and legal status and clustered in low-level occupations.

    The senior demographer for Pew, Jeffrey Passel, presented the reports findings at a Senate hearing Thursday. He stressed that as the illegal population has fallen, its remaining workers have settled into the U.S. and their job prospects have shifted mostly in response to national economic trends.

    These are people who are embedded and participating in the economy, Passel said after the hearing. More than 60 percent have been here at least ten years. The changes we see in what they are doing and where they work reflect broader trends.

    Although the majority of illegal immigrants are from Mexico, the report noted that in the Washington region, the largest number are from Central America. In Virginia, Maryland and the District, they are employed mainly in service jobs in hotels, restaurants, buildings and grounds, and private homes.

    Nationwide, Pew reported, the portion of unauthorized workers in professional or business jobs including sales and office support grew from 10 to 13 percent, while the portion in production and construction declined from 34 to 29 percent. As in the past, though, it said a solid majority still toil at low-wage jobs including farm labor.

    [Judges ruling derails plans of immigrants seeking legal status]

    Critics of illegal immigration complain that undocumented workers squeeze out American-born workers by undercutting wages. The Pew report did not address that issue, but it found that far higher percentages of illegal immigrants than U.S.-born workers now hold jobs with the least desirable conditions, such as crop picking and animal slaughter.

    Sen. Thomas Carper (D-Del), the ranking Democrat at Thursdays hearing, said that U.S. officials need to get serious about enforcing laws against the hiring of undocumented immigrants, but that the government must also provide adequate ways for immigrants to work here legally when we do need help.

    Demolition begins at Seminole Mall - March 26, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Mall razes former theater; won't get county tax money

    City officials and developers still have not reached an agreement about the redevelopment of Seminole Mall.

    However, the first phase of the reconstruction is scheduled to begin April 6 with the demolition of the former movie theater on the northeast section of the property. In preparation of the demolition and in the interest of public safety, the city this week is closing a portion of 80th Avenue N and Liberty Lane to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Traffic will be rerouted through the mall parking lot. The roads are expected to remain closed for 30 days.

    In a related item, Pinellas County Administrator Mark Woodard on Monday turned down a request from developers Primerica Group One to contribute tax money to the redevelopment of the mall.

    In an email to Primerica president Richard Trzcinski, the administrator wrote, "Retail projects are not typically considered part of the county's economic development efforts. These projects only tend to serve customers who live within five miles or less of the mall. Therefore no new money is drawn into the local economy from outside."

    Woodard also pointed out that retail jobs tend to have low wages and the county wants to encourage the creation of high-wage jobs "in order to maximize the return on investment to the taxpayers of Pinellas County."

    Kingdome debt finally paid off 15 years after demolition - March 26, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Updated MAR 26, 2015 7:15p ET

    By John Ferensen

    It only took a scant 39 years and exactly 15 years after its demolition but the Kingdome, the hideous mound of concrete where CenturyLink Field stands today,has finally been paid off.

    The Kingdome where the Seattle SuperSonics won an NBA title (technically, they clinched it on the road, but played all their home games there), and where the Seahawks and Mariners mostly stank opened for business in 1976, famously hosting a Led Zeppelin concert in its infancy. Attendees thought the roof would collapse. It didnt, and it would only take 18 more years to happen.

    The ceiling wouldnt give out until July 1994, when falling tiles forced the Mariners onto the road the remainder of a strike-shortened season, while the Seahawks had to play an entire season at Husky Stadium across town. The Kingdome is also whereBo Jackson nearly ran to Tacoma,The Doublehappened, where Michael Jordan entertained 38,067 people, and whereTom Chambers won the 1987 NBA All-Star Game MVPplaying in front of a home crowd.

    The Kingdome was rendered obsolete by the late 1990s, and was replaced by two sports palaces: Safeco Field and the aforementioned CenturyLink Field. To put the Kingdomes terrible payment plan in perspective (the falling ceiling tiles only added to the cost), Safeco (opened in 1999)was paid off in 2011, while The Clink (opened in 2002) is on schedule to be paid off by 2021.

    R.I.P. Kingdome. Finally.
