25,851,000 foreign-born employed while 94,517,000 Americans are without jobs
The number of foreign-born people employed in the United States reached another record high in June, according to new figures released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The BLS reports that last month a record 25,851,000 foreign-born people had jobs in the U.S., an increase of 110,000 people from the previous record high hit in March.
The BLS defines the “foreign-born” as “those residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth.”

- Native-born American employment fell by 452,000, down by 0.36%
- Immigrant employment rose by 519,000, up by 2.06%
