US Native-Born Job Gains Surpass Foreign-Born Losses in 2025

News summary

Under President Donald Trump's administration, native-born Americans have experienced significant job growth, adding nearly 2 million jobs over the past year, while employment among foreign-born workers has declined by approximately half a million. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer emphasized that this shift reflects the administration's focus on prioritizing American workers, praising Trump's decision to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner amid accusations of manipulated job data. The latest reports show that all net job growth recently has gone to native-born workers, reversing previous trends during the Biden administration when foreign-born employment grew faster. This change is attributed to strong immigration and border policies reducing the foreign-born labor force, which has fallen by around 1.5 million jobs since April. Economists and administration officials assert that this shift is improving wages and investment in the U.S. economy by putting American workers first. Critics argue that this move counters prior immigration-driven labor market expansion and reshapes the workforce composition in favor of native-born Americans.
