More good news from t Bureaheu of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly report. In the past 12 months (January 2025 to January 2026) there are fewer foreign-born workers employed and more native-born workers in jobs. The time period roughly corresponds to the first year of Pres. Trump’s second term.
The tale of the tape:
- Foreign-born population (age 16+) -707,000
- Foreign-born in jobs: -97,000
- American-born population (age 16+) +3,004,000
- American-born in jobs: +840,000
Of course, illegal aliens aren’t the most reliable respondents to government surveys, and these figures don’t line up with reported numbers of voluntary departures and deportations, but the trend is what is encouraging.
The BLS report is another data point reinforcing the conclusion that the foreign-born population fell in 2025, for the first time in a least a half century.
