In the month of June, foreign-born workers saw 2.28 percent year-to-year job growth, while native-born American workers saw 1.38 percent. In May, Breitbart News noted that growth in jobs for foreign-born workers had recorded in at about 3 percent. In April, job growth for foreign-born workers came in at 3.6 percent.
This decline in growth for foreign-born workers over the months of May and June is welcome news for native-born American workers who are seeing steady economic growth for the second month in a row.
While job gains for native-born Americans continue to grow slower than foreign-born workers, the economic gap between the groups is beginning to close. In May, like June, job growth for native-born Americans grew just below 1.5 percent.
