Half of the abysmal job ‘growth’ went to immigrants, including illegal immigrants.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the foreign-born population filled 840,000 new jobs over the last seven months.
The overall labor force participation rate declined to 62.5% compared to 62.7% for April. The pre-pandemic level was 63.3%.
“Nearly half of all job growth since October can be attributed to various immigrant groups, including illegal immigrants, showing a far weaker economy than suggested,” the Republican-led House Budget Committee said.
