Foreigners have 1,200,000 MORE jobs and locals have 825,000 LESS jobsThe Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released its jobs report for September on Friday, which showed that the number of foreign-born workers was 31,414,000 in September, a decrease of about 222,000 from last month. The figure of 31,636,000 foreign-born workers employed in August was the highest level since at least 2007.
Compared to a year ago, foreign-born employment rose about 1.2 million jobs from 30,213,000 in September 2023, per BLS data. That continues an upward trend that dates back to at least 2010, having been interrupted by the COVID pandemic.
Native-born employment was up in September by about 920,000 jobs compared to August, coming in at 130,632,000 in September — though that's down about 825,000 jobs from September 2023. Employment among U.S.-born workers had reached the highest level since at least 2007 a little more than a year ago when it reached 132,254,000 in July 2023.
