It takes a long time to create jobs like this. I'm sure you can appreciate the amount of bureaucratic red tape that might be involved. It'll take even longer to actually hire them all.

I can understand the plight. After completing my education I applied for teaching positions in government schools and colleges. Most of those jobs which I applied to more than 5 years to complete the hiring process. Many waited for that to happen only wasting time. I was fortunate that I was working in a good private school and didn't have to bear the loss of time. I'm sure, it won't take years in US?

It’ll probably take about a year to fill each position, but many of them won’t be filled. There just aren’t enough economists looking for work to fill them.

Thanks! I'll just bring to some of my old students' notice that they can migrate to US for jobs!

Sorry, the Feds only hire American citizens.

That will be only as long as they can fill them. Its easy for the government to issue a greencard.
