The number of foreign-born people employed in the United States reached another record high in June, according to new figures released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The BLS reports that last month a record 25,851,000 foreign-born people had jobs in the U.S., an increase of 110,000 people from the previous record high hit in March.
The BLS defines the “foreign-born” as “those residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth.”
More specifically, the BLS says, “[the foreign-born] were born outside the United States or one of its outlying areas such as Puerto Rico or Guam, to parents neither of whom was a U.S. citizen. The native born are persons who were born in the United States or one of its outlying areas such as Puerto Rico or Guam or who were born abroad of at least one parent who was a U.S. citizen.”
The unemployment rate among the foreign born, according to the not-seasonally adjusted data, was 4.0 percent. The labor force participation rate was 65.6 percent.
While more foreign-born people had jobs last month, number of native-born Americans with jobs declined by 179,000 last month, hitting 126,140,000.The unemployment rate among native-born people was 5.3 percent and the labor force participation rate was 62.7 percent.

Yet 96M Americans are out of work and can't find proper full time jobs. You do the math. Non-citizens get more rights! How is this even logical in the liberals' collective mind is beyond me.
How many of those are NOT citizens?! Those are the ones that are taking our jobs!
Unemployment statistics are BS.
It is BS. I'd say given real life data instead of skewed 🍭🍭🍭 lollipop cloud fabrications, our real unemployment is around 25-30% that means one in four people who want work aren't working. It's a oretty sad day when in the whole country, only 200K jobs are created. That's just really bad. That's not even 10K per state. Sad! Very sad. But hey, Obama's doing a fabo job right!
Obama needs to keep up the good work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I find this report to be total BS. What is it saying? What is its purpose. My wife is a foreign born person who has a job here in the US. She went through all the paperwork. All the tests. Paid a ton of money just to get here. She has worked her butt off and probably knows more about America and her history than most Americans do. She then became an American. This report makes her sound bad. I find this report to be disgusting and total BS.
