Most Employment Growth Since Pandemic Has Gone to Immigrants
Labor force participation for “prime age” U.S.-born men remains at historic lows
President Biden claimed in April that the United States has “
the best economy in the world”, with a job market that the New York Times calls “
historically strong”. Unfortunately, too many U.S.-born are missing out on the supposed “job-creation boom.” It is true that the country has added millions of jobs since the height of Covid. However, most of that employment growth has gone to immigrants, both legal and illegal. 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.
