Job Growth Highest for Immigrants : Native Born Losing Ground

The system of socialism that is being driven into the American economy. It is necessary for those that have a chance to expand their future through education are being lost to those that will work for just survival.

Little wonder then the bottom half of the work force is expanding and the top half is shrinking, that is the top is being brought down and the bottom is rising making everyone equally mediocre and dependent. The system is working.

Immigrants -- both legal and illegal -- have been the recipients of the entire net employment growth in the United States since 2000, reports National Review.

According to a new study from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), 127,000 fewer working-age, native Americans were employed in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000. The number of immigrants with a job, on the other hand, was 5.7 million above the level in 2000.
According to the study:

• The labor force participation rate for native-born Americans has steadily declined alongside the employment rate.
• Immigrants have made gains in low-skilled jobs (such as maintenance and construction), middle-skilled jobs (such as office support) and higher-skilled jobs (from health care to management and computer work).
• A staggering 8.7 million native college graduates are out of work, while 17 million adults with some college are not working and 25.3 million with only a high school diploma are not working.

The study's authors write that the data challenges the argument that immigration tends to increase job opportunities for natives, as native-born employment has fallen significantly over the last decade and a half, during which time 17 million immigrants arrived in the United States.
