My father was an economist. He went back to school in his forties, because he had never finished high school and then he became an economist. My father thought numbers mattered.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3447348\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, he also told me \u201cSon, they can say anything they want with numbers. Don't ever believe them\u201d.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3447349\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we see with the government is it just makes up numbers. What it is saying is that permanent jobs are part time and what we are seeing are thousands of temporary foreign workers coming in, being given the jobs and then being deported.</p>",
