Nebraska has about 49,000 job openings listed on a state website and 19,000 working-age residents who are not working. About 4,300 people are receiving unemployment benefits.

Get everyone in the state off unemployment and you still have 45,000 empty jobs. It's a drop in the bucket.

Almost sounds like we need more immigrants, huh?
