Today’s “Word of the Day” is pander to and it is a verb meaning “to do or say something to satisfy someone or someone’s (wrong) desire in order to get some advantage/benefit from it; satisfy, fulfil, indulge, gratify, soap”.
Example Sentence: Research has shown that for the biggest tech companies and other corporations that are major income producers, the H-1B visa helps to create jobs for American workers, that bringing in high-skill individuals can actually boost the U.S. economy. In that climate, to pander to those people who are not necessarily the most highly educated or possess the highest technical skills is bad, because it is not going to create jobs, but actually take away jobs.
This word is present in The Hindu International article ‘Trump’s H-1B ban has nothing to do with saving American jobs’ and click here to read it.
