Th situation is actually worse than this. The study uses the BLS's payroll job numbers which measures jobs, not the number employed nor the quality of jobs. It does not measure underemployment not the number of jobs paying such low wages that they are subsidized by tax dollars.

Contrary to the myth the decline in US labor participation is not due to retirement. Older Americans have a higher participation rates than younger one.

We are undergoing an economic cleansing of the American middle class. Thansk progressice of all kinds.


Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000

The United States has accepted two new immigrants for each additional job created since 2000, according to federal data.

The data shows that 18 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States from 2000 to 2015, while only 9.3 million additional jobs were created, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors a reduced level of immigration.

After subtracting deaths, departures and retirements among the immigrants, the working-age population of immigrants has grown 12 million since 2000, according to data at the Bureau of Labor Standards, said Steve Camarota, the author of the CIS study.

That overall population of working-age immigrants and native-born Americans increased by 28 million, which is three times the number of jobs added since 2000.

The huge growth in the labor supply, and the slow growth of employment, debunks predictions by Democrats and business groups that immigrant labor spurs the economy enough to ensure that even Americans gain from the inflow.
