STARBUCKS pledges to hire 10,000 refugees.
money.cnn.com...
Will current Starbuck employees be sent to the Unemployment line, to make way for Refugees? (i.e. Illegal Aliens)
BE AWARE: If certain refugees sneeze on your latte or scone.. you could die quickly.

But they'll be employed.
Get it? Nudge Nudge
I've used this logic here before, and I'll use it again because it seems topical. We can have 10,000 people making subsistance wages, reliant somewhat on the government. Or we could have 1000 people with middle class jobs, and 9000 people more reliant. I'll take the second group every time because it means a few are self sufficient.

Those middle class jobs buy the coffee from the barista with the earrings in their face. Do you think that the money goes and sits?
The middle class also earn enough money to start their own businesses.
We were sold a lie when we were told service sector jobs will be fine, and that the manufacturing can be done for peanuts in 3rd world labor pools.
Trickle down doesn't work. Service economy sucks. And the corps loved the last 35 years that they have been allowed (lobbied) to run all over the world and get the products made for pennies and sell them for hundreds.
We will see if Trump is true to his word.
