You can’t have “more than 100%” of anything. |

You can when you take jobs from other people. The foreign born did. Check my June 29 post. Read the Fed Employment Level graphs. Total gain in employment since Oct 2019 was 2,238,000. Foreign born employed increased 3,550,000. Which means the foreign born got all of those jobs added since Oct 2019, plus 1,312,000 more. How is that possible? Native born lost 1,276,000 jobs since Oct. 2019. |

Easy: unlike pampered, "entitled" Americans the foreign born are willing to work hard for a low wage. Makes sense to me. |

With the Baby Boomers retiring we do not have enough working age people without immigrants. In the next 15 years we will be in really bad shape as far as a workforce without immigrants. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

You define mass amounts of people retiring by choice due to stock and housing gains as “losing jobs” now? |

It seems to me that a fair evaluation period should start when Biden was actually in office rather than include a year and 3 months of Trump’s term. I would also use the same month for the beginning and the end to remove any seasonal effect. Maybe Feb 2021 to Feb 2024. Not saying the results would be different, but your comparison kinda looks cherry picked. A government of laws and not of men. - John Adam’s |

Pick any point and play with the graphs all you want. End result is Native Born lost 1.7 million jobs from their peak in 2019, while the foreign born gained 3.2 million jobs above their peak before Covid. Jan 2021-May 2024 Although the Foreign Born are only 13.8 percent of the US population, they gained 5,578,000 of the jobs restored during that period and exceeded their 2020 peak by 3.2 million jobs. The native born gained 7.38 million jobs since Jan 2021, but still ended down 1.275 million jobs from their 2020 peak. Those 1.275 million jobs went to the foreign born. |
