The shift in job dynamics under former President Trump’s administration, particularly in labor policies affecting native-born and foreign-born workers.
• Trump's labor policies reversed those of the Biden administration, which were seen as favoring foreign-born (mostly illegal) workers over native-born workers.
• A recent jobs report showed a significant increase in the number of native-born workers, highlighting a rise of 676,000 in September, following a decrease in August.
• Conversely, the number of foreign-born workers fell by 70,000, marking a total drop from 33.7 million in March 2025 to 32.1 million under Trump’s policies.
• Native-born workers remained static until 2025, when their numbers began to increase, reaching a new record of 133.2 million in September.
• Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the foreign-born workforce was about 28.7 million, but increased significantly under Biden, correlated with a decline in native-born workers, attributed by some to various economic factors.
The report suggests that Trump's policies have promoted an environment for native-born workers to reclaim jobs previously held by foreign-born individuals, indicating a potential shift in the labor market landscape.
