Jobs Up 14,000 For Immigrants, Down 262,000 For 'Native-borns'

For a third month in a row, native-born Americans saw their job numbers tumble while immigrants experience solid gains.

According to the monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers just released, "foreign-born" jobs numbers increased by 14,000, while those for "native-born" Americans fell off a cliff, by 262,000.

Over the past three months, the job numbers for native-born have dropped by nearly 1 million, exactly the number of jobs President Obama promised to add when he ran for re-election in 2012.

During that period, jobs for immigrants grew 218,000.

I'd like to see a comparative chart tracking the jobs "created", the jobs "taken" and the wages over time relative to the labor supply.

Things are worse than they were three years ago.
