Data: Foreign Workers See 4X the Job Growth of Americans in January
The Department of Homeland Security and Labor Department determined there were not enough qualified U.S. workers for certain jobs in the United States. The federal government is allowing 15,000 more foreign workers to obtain visas to take temporary jobs.

Foreign-born workers are continuing to make significant employment gains over native-born American workers, the latest federal job data reveals.
For the month of January, foreign-born workers increased their labor participation rate year-to-year nearly nine times as much as native-born Americans. Likewise, foreign workers enjoyed nearly four times the job growth in January as American workers. While the foreign worker population increased about 3.4 percent year-to-year, the American worker population increased less than 0.9 percent over the same period.
Even in unemployment data, foreign-born workers are vastly outpacing American workers.
