Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that American-born workers ae being displaced by foreign-born workers. Over the past year, the employment rate for American-born workers fell by 1.1 million while foreigners gained 400,000 jobs.
In other words, anything Joe Biden said touting his supposed economic recovery were benefits accruing to non-Americans.
In November alone, employment for native-born workers decreased by 215,000, bringing the total number to just 130.6 million. April recorded the lowest employment rate of native-born Americans at just 111.36 million.
In November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said the economy created 227,000 jobs while unemployment rose from 4.1% to 4.2%. The economy was stalling a month before, with just 12,000 jobs, later corrected to 36,000, created in October. In September, the economy added 223,000 jobs, later corrected to 255,000.
However, the three-month average job creation rate reached 173,000 in November. The economy needs to create 112,490 jobs to keep unemployment from rising. At face value, this figure gives Biden a clean bill of health.
However, a more comprehensive analysis that considers immigration suggests that the number of new jobs created in the economy needs to be as high as 200,000 to control unemployment.
Applying this standard to the three-month average, the Biden administration has failed to control unemployment if the employee’s nationality is considered.
According to the researchers, immigration caused “faster population and labor force growth… than currently reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) using Census population estimates.”
While the three-month average shows that America’s job market is resilient, even expanding, the underlying issue is who benefits from those jobs. Faster population growth stemming from uncontrolled immigration and faster job growth at face value may not necessarily benefit native-born Americans.
Subsequently, President Trump will inherit an “expanding” job market based on the three-month average and excluding the impact of positive net immigration. This expanding labor market will seemingly build on Biden’s momentum, giving Democrats excuses to downplay Trump’s role in the economy.
To create an accurate picture and ensure that Americans enjoy the fruits of the expanding job market, Trump must guarantee that native-born Americans will be at the frontline of any positive job growth.
Luckily, the incoming president has a chance to accelerate job growth while at the same time correcting Biden’s mistake that saw foreigners edging out native-born Americans in employability by ensuring the success of his America First agenda.
Previously, people were criticized for claiming that immigrants were taking Americans’ jobs – but this is just typical of liberals ignoring reality. With foreigners’ employment rate rising by 400,000 jobs annually and native-born workers’ employment rate tanking by 1.1 million jobs, it sure seems like one side is being displaced. And that doesn’t even take into account the downward pressures those foreign workers are placing on native wages.
Trump has promised to return manufacturing jobs home from abroad, which could allow native-born Americans to secure more employment and reverse the negative trend.
Additionally, Trump’s plan to curb uncontrolled immigration could make more jobs available to native-born workers than immigrants, thus correcting the downward trend.
Only when native-born Americans start enjoying the positive impacts of an expanding job market can statistics convince them they are better than before.
