One in four employed Americans say they fear losing their jobs within the next year according to a new survey. The data, collected by OnePoll on behalf of CSU Global, suggests that a significant percentage of American workers see their job security as unstable.
According to the survey, 32 percent of American workers say they are concerned they lack the necessary skills and training to be successful in their careers. The rising anxiety about current and future employment prospects among Americans appears to be playing a significant role in the 2024 election. Respondents in national polling have routinely listed jobs and the economy as two of their top issues when deciding which presidential candidate they will support.
Despite the Biden government persistently touting a strong U.S. jobs market, The National Pulse has extensively shed light on the dubious nature of their claims. The March jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, cited by Joe Biden and numerous Democrat officials, actually revealed full-time jobs declined by 1.3 million while the labor market added 1.09 million part-time positions.
A February 2024 report by the Center for Immigration Studies shows the so-called Biden job recovery was almost entirely driven by illegal and legal immigrant labor. As of its publication, the study also revealed that native-born labor force participation had not yet recovered to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.
The anxiety among American workers appears justified. Biden and his Democrat allies at the state and local level have made immigrant employment a top policy priority — a move that has suppressed the wages of American workers — in the name of combating inflation. With the Federal Reserve also signaling that interest rates will likely remain elevated for the foreseeable future, there appears to be little relief in sight for American workers under the Biden government.
