Help Remedy the Worker Shortage We Have in the U.S.
Dear Chamber Members, Esteemed Business Leaders, and Friends,
Your support and assistance are urgently requested. Today marks the deadline for a letter addressed to President Biden, and we are counting on your involvement.
Given the urgent workforce crisis, TAMACC calls on our chamber members, business leaders, sister organizations, and friends to sign this letterasking President Biden to expand work permits for immigrants, including long-term contributors and newcomers. Economists have estimated that two years of lost immigration is responsible for nearly half of the workers missing from the labor force. The US Chamber of Commerce has also shown that between 20 and 60 percent of jobs remained unfilled in key work sectors, including manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, financial services, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality. Our broken immigration system demands immediate action. Please join the hundreds who have already signed this bipartisan letter to help Keep Texas Strong.
