PHILADELPHIA -- Americans overwhelmingly want their next president to focus more on improving their standard of living, providing universal healthcare, and stemming the outsourcing of jobs overseas than making it easier for immigrants to live and work in the U.S., according to the latest "America At Work" national opinion survey by the non-partisan Employment Law Alliance (ELA).
The workplace-issues poll, based on a sampling of 1,125 working Americans between April 4 and 9, is believed to be the only national survey to date focusing exclusively on a wide range of workplace-related issues that will likely confront the next president, according to Stephen J. Hirschfeld, CEO of ELA. The error interval is +/- 2.99 percent at a 95 percent level of confidence.
"While immigration and its impact on the workplace is a significant issue, and a highly emotional one, this poll clearly indicates that it pales in comparison to a host of other issues that American workers are more interested in," explained Hirschfeld.
