Jobs Displacement Soars As Immigrants / Aliens Take ALL New Jobs in October
"America is getting back to work. Our economy is starting to work for more Americans," Joe Biden claimed after the October jobs data showed payrolls surging by 531,000 in October, their biggest jump since July [Biden says his plans are working after October jobs report beats expectations, by Kate Sullivan, CNN, November 5, 2021].

In October:
- Immigrants (legal and illegal) gained 422,000 jobs, a 1.58% increase from September.
- Native-born Americans lost 63,000 positions, a 0.05% decline from September.

- VDARE’s Native-born employment index fell to 105.2 in October from 105.3 in September, a decline of 0.05%....
