At 4% unemployment, chances are that people with some specific educations are missing. Just look at Germany, where the unemployment rate dropped to about that, too, but where the industry is complaining for years now that there ain't enough people who learned manufacturing crafts like mechanics and electronics, which are thus in very high demand. Probably also one of the reasons why Merkel opened the flood-doors for the refugees in 2013.

However, they shouldn't be able to fire people first on a whim, but that's on US job security regulations.

I highly doubt that the lack of skilled worker in certain jobs played any role in the decisions she made back than, I also doubt that she wanted so many refugees to come.

 

"We don't have enough talent in the X-country" This sentence already tells you everything you have to know. Most of the time it is used when your own citizens don't wanna work in certain business because of bad working conditions and low wages.

Historically that is so true. However, we have another problem. We are about 2 generations into the whole "everyone must go to college" attitude of our educational system. What are we lacking? Tons of skilled workers in trades, like mechanics. 

As an encouragement, a good company will not likely fire you if your productivity is high and your engagement is meaninful and accurate.
