The majority of job growth in the United States since 2019 has gone to newly arrived migrants as working-class American men continue to fall out of the labor force, an analysis shows.
The analysis, published by Steven Camarota at the Center for Immigration Studies, shows the extent to which President Joe Biden's agenda to grow the labor market with mass immigration - rather than enticing Americans on the sidelines back into work - has been largely executed.
"The government's household survey shows that there were only 971,000 more U.S.-born Americans employed in May 2024 compared to May 2019 prior to the pandemic, while the number of employed immigrants has increased by 3.2 million," Camarota writes.

For American men in the prime age range of 25 to 54 years old with only a high school diploma, labor participation in the workforce has dropped from 95.7 percent in 1960 to 81.6 percent in 2024.
Among prime-age American men across education levels, labor participation has fallen almost eight percentage points in 64 years.
Since 2023 nearly 300,000 native-born Americans fell out of the workforce while about 637,000 migrants were added to the workforce.
