Those people that show up will require goods and services. The economy will act to meet that demand if it is not restrained from doing so. So yes, in broad strokes, if more people show up, more work will need doing and more jobs will be created. No magic fairy required.
Say a small city has about 50 new job opening per year at there current growth rate and already has about 100 people looking for work. Do you believe, because your intentions and character are good and you mean well that somehow a magic fairy is going to come down and create more jobs just because more people show up? Do believe in type of job theory where if the wealthy are allowed to keep wages low, because of competition, that we all will be better off in the long run because of some "trickle down theory of labor"?
