if companies are paying competitive wages and can't find anyone, then what they are calling competitive wages aren't.
"prevailing wage"
It must be true, they print it on their paychecks.
because over many years of taxes I have paid for the infrastructure the hiring company uses every day.

" a view they support by pointing out that in the days of the founders when the constitution was written, Christianity did indeed permeate every aspect of public life including government"
which nonetheless is patently false

"big three"? wow, that speaks volumes.
Hindus and Buddhists, not to mention a variety of other Sino-Indian religions far, far outnumber Jews. Your own straw-man says they're the big three because they all share the same foundation of the Abrahamic religions. How convenient.

"Top of the class, in both atheism and good behavior, come the Japanese. Over eighty percent accept evolution and fewer than ten percent are certain that God exists. Despite its size – over a hundred million people – Japan is one of the least crime-prone countries in the world. It also has the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy of any developed nation.
(Teenage pregnancy has less tragic consequences than violence but it is usually unwanted, and it is frequently associated with deprivation among both mothers and children. In general, it is a Bad Thing.)
Next in line are the Norwegians, British, Germans and Dutch. At least sixty percent accept evolution as a fact and fewer than one in three are convinced that there is a deity. There is little teenage pregnancy , although the Brits, with over 40 pregnancies per 1,000 girls a year, do twice as badly as the others. Homicide rates are also low -- around 1-2 victims per 100,000 people a year.
At the other end of the scale comes America. Over 50 percent of Americans believe in God, and only 40 percent accept some form of evolution (many believe it had a helping hand from the Deity). The U.S. has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy and homicide rates are at least five times greater than in Europe and ten times higher than in Japan."
