❓WHAT HAPPENED: A new jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) shows that all net job growth is now going to native-born Americans, while foreign-born employment is on the decline.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Labor Department, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, and economist E.J. Antoni.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The report was issued on Tuesday, highlighting employment trends in the United States over the past year.
💬KEY QUOTE: “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,” the Labor Department wrote on X.
🎯IMPACT: The change marks a significant shift from previous years, where Biden-era policies led to disproportionate job growth for foreign-born workers over native-born Americans.
A Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) jobs report, released on Tuesday, indicates that net job gains are now benefiting native-born Americans, as employment among foreign-born workers continues to decline. The data shows that native-born workers added jobs for yet another month in a row, as foreign-born individuals continue leaving the labor force.
This represents a sharp shift away from approaches during the Biden era, when a huge share of new jobs were filled by migrants and Americans lost work. “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,” the Labor Department wrote on X.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt commented, “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 has noted that, over the last 12 months, employment among native-born Americans increased by 2.6 million, while foreign-born jobs declined slightly. Antoni called this jobs report the strongest November ever recorded for employment increases among native-born Americans—despite unemployment overall hitting a four-year high.
