A new interactive tool from The Pew Charitable Trusts compares immigrant labor force to U.S-born workers.
Shifting demographics nationwide are changing the face of American employment. Immigrants make up 13 percent of the population and 17 percent of the workforce, but their employment patterns contrast with those of their U.S.-born counterparts across industries and states. Understanding these differences nationally and within each state is vital for policymakers as they consider strategies to boost their economies and develop their workforces. To help give them the clear picture they need, The Pew Charitable Trusts produced first-of-their-kind data on the likelihood of immigrant workers being employed in 13 major industries, compared with U.S.-born workers, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Pew’s online interactive tool builds on these data to compare the workforce distribution of immigrants relative to U.S.-born workers across all states and with national figures. Following are some key takeaways that can help guide exploration of the interactive and inform strategies for policymakers to make use of the data:

This is from the Bush years, which were the highest rates in sheer numbers for illegal aliens and visa abuses in the history of the US.
This is just one example of job loss and illegal job market manipulation allowed by our Congress and Senate to go on during Bush's tenure, which has of course been continued during Obama's.
Immigration attorneys from Cohen & Grigsby explains how they assist employers in running classified ads with the goal of NOT finding any qualified applicants, and the steps they go through to disqualify even the most qualified Americans in order to secure green cards for H-1b workers.
See what Bush and Congress really mean by a "shortage of skilled U.S. workers." Microsoft, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and thousands of other companies were running fake ads in Sunday newspapers across the country each week.
