As I wrote, above, the BLS report defined "foreign-born workers" beyond "foreign-born Americans" — including illegal aliens: Republican Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) also weighed in on the BLS report, with thoughts similar to those of Trump: This disastrous report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows what Americans have known for years: illegal immigration drives down the wages and jobs of American citizens, pushing out struggling families.
Native-born Americans — we lost 1.3 million jobs, while foreign-born Americans were able to take all of those jobs.
Foreign-born workers accounted for 18.6 percent of the civilian labor force, as contrasted with 2020, when 17 percent of the labor force was foreign-born.
Here's the overall big deal, encapsulated in the August data, alone: The jobs report showed that around 438,000 full-time jobs were lost last month while 527,000 part-time jobs were added.
Trying to nail down Joe Biden or Kamala Harris on the number of jobs they've "created" — the government does not create jobs; it can create economic conditions that can lead to job creation or job losses — during the last disastrous three-and-a-half years is like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall.
Not only does it appear that the country is still shedding full-time jobs while adding part-time gigs, which usually lack the benefits many families rely upon, but hundreds of thousands of foreign-born workers are securing gainful employment while millions of native-born Americans are losing jobs.
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs report for August, released on Friday, exposed far more troubling data and trends than the Biden-Harris administration would admit in a proverbial million years.
