July Was A Big American Worker Displacement Month

The central point to grasp from the July jobs data, unreported as far as we can see by anyone except VDARE.com, is that ALL the job growth went to immigrants (legal and illegal, the government—disgracefully—does not distinguish).

In July:

    Immigrants (legal and illegal) gained 325,000 jobs, a 1.15% gain from June.
    Native-born Americans lost 146,000 positions, a 0.11% decline from June
    Thus VDARE.com’s immigrant employment index, set at 100.0 in January 2009, rose to 131.9 in July from 130.4 in June, a 1.15% increase.
    VDARE’s Native-Born Employment Index fell to 107.6 from 107.7 in June, a 0.11% decline.

The New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index (NVDAWDI), our name for the ratio of the immigrant to native-born employment growth indexes since Jan. 2009, rose to 122.5 IN July from 121.1 in June, a 1.19% increase....
