According to a major new report
from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), net employment growth in
the United States since 2000 has gone entirely to immigrants, legal and
illegal. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, CIS scholars
Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler found that there were 127,000 fewer
working-age natives holding a job in the first quarter of 2014 than in
2000, while the number of immigrants with a job was 5.7 million above
the 2000 level.
The rapidity with which immigrants recovered from the Great Recession, as well as the fact that they held a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of population growth before the recession, help to explain their findings, the authors report. In addition, native-born Americans and immigrants were affected differently by the recession.
