The latest workforce data suggests that American workers have been the main beneficiaries in the labor market amid the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. The Labor Department's jobs report for the month of June showed that the number of foreign-born workers declined by 348,000 from May " while the number of foreign-born workers has declined by more than 543,000 jobs since January. By contrast, the number of U.S.-born workers increased by 830,000 from May to June, and is also over 2 million higher than when the second Trump administration began in January.
"American-born workers have accounted for ALL of the job gains since President Trump took office and wages continue to rise," Leavitt said, adding that the "economy is booming again" and will accelerate further following passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Just as predicted BY ME - deport the illegals and AMERICAN CITIZENS DO THE JOBS + WAGES RISE. Basically, everything the dipshit liberals predicted would happen - didn't.
"Also funny is that I'm looking at the report and don't see this trend indicated anywhere.

Of course YOU can't - you could not find your own ass using both hands as proven here daily.
They are referring to the BLS reports which I have referenced here many times which clearly breaks out employment of native born vs. foreign born.
Here is the latest report: www.bls.gov
Here is the end of Jan 2025 report: www.bls.gov
In each, find Table 7 and the subtract the 2 numbers for the change.
And exactly as stated, for the first time in years, native born employment is growing - by 2M so far under Trump. Trump is doing what liberals said was impossible. I remember not long ago - ------- Danforth said this was impossible as native born will decline due to boomer retirement so it is not possible to reverse the trend - much like everything he says - that is now clearly proven to be wrong.
For JPW, stick to talking about incompetence in research labs causing global pandemics, this economics stuff is beyond your intelligence level.
What to know about the Trump administration's favorite economic data point
www.axios.com
... The Trump administration has a new favorite talking point on the economy: That blue-collar wages are rising the most, in inflation-adjusted terms, at the start of a presidential administration in modern history.
The big picture: The data reflect solid wage growth paired with low inflation through the first five months of 2025. ...
Driving the news: The analysis, and chart shown above, was generated by the Treasury Department and has been promoted on the White House website, the president's Truth Social feed, and amplified in certain media.
- - - "We've seen real wages for hourly workers, non-supervisory workers, rise almost 2% in the first five months," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the New York Post. "No president has done that before."
By the numbers: The data in question is average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers -- a good proxy for private-sector working-class wages -- deflated by the Consumer Price Index.
- - - From December through May, that wage measure rose by 1.7%, comfortably outstripping the 0.9% increase in consumer prices. Treasury converted that improvement in real wages over five months to an annual rate.
- - - It works out to a 1.7% annual rate of real wage increases, which compares favorably with the first five months of the Biden administration (when inflation significantly outstripped wage hikes), and all other comparable periods in a presidential term dating back at least to Richard Nixon. ...

@#38 ... Well, if a statement of fact is considered an ad hominem attack ...
From back in the days when I ran a bulletin board (back a couple three decades ago), an ad hominem attack was an attack against the person (hence, ad hominem, Latin, literally 'to the person') posting the comment, and not the comment that the person posted..
