Japan just had the fewest babies born in any year on record. Not since the war. Not since the 1918 flu. Since records began in 1899.
705,809 births, the tenth annual record low in a row, and they're now down 30% in a decade. More than two deaths for every birth. The population shrank by almost 900,000 people in twelve months.
This is what a demographic spiral looks like in real time. Fewer young people now means fewer parents in twenty years, which means fewer births in thirty. Recovery requires reversing a trend that has been running for half a century.
7 H-1B visa workers were supposed to be working on site at the Innovative Data Analytics Group LLC in Plano, Texas.
This particular company stood out because they had no website, which is odd for a company with a bunch of software engineers.
When looking for suite 78, hoping to find these H1-B workers working on site, she instead finds that it is just a mailbox.
She proceeds to go to the residential address of the owner, only to get no answers. The owner was speechless and had no idea where the workers were either.
The amount of fraud that is being uncovered is insane, it only makes you wonder how much more are we not seeing.
