The number of immigrants employed in the United States reached another monthly record high in July, according data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The BLS reports that 25,984,000 foreign-born people had a job in the U.S. last month, up 133,000 compared to the previous record set in June.
The Labor Department defines the “foreign-born” as “those residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth.”

Im thinking this number is very misleading. What if the person is 100% legal in the US. They just happen to migrate here completely legally. What is this number supposed to say to us?
ReplyDeleteWith you, Dogg, this may include both legal and illegal migrants. It makes it a really meaningless statistic.
