Pretty damning data from the BLS in a tweet below. Even with the jobs created for "foreign born" US workers counted here, it still only nets to about 800k net jobs created in 7 years.... pretty pathetic and imo a lawless libertarian outcome in the face of an existing Humphrey-Hawkins Full Employment Act.
New BLS Data: since recession, 1.1M fewer native workers with jobs but 1.9 million more foreign workers with jobs. pic.twitter.com/soVB56O71p

Will the earth ever be rid of the curse of libertarians and the lawlessness they bring...
Good data, Matt. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteBuy hey, the beltway pundits claim that we are approaching full employment, which is apparently now defined as 5.5%. :(
