AMERICA - NO DAMNED LEGAL NEED APPLY!

What's Happening at the Center
The latest report from Director of Research Steven Camarota challenges the notion that we need to import more foreign workers. Newly released data shows that the labor force participation rate – those working or looking for work – of native-born Americans has not returned to pre-2007 recession levels. Only 70.8 percent of natives in this group were in the labor force in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 86.8 percent of those with a degree. Working-age immigrants without a college education also have not fared well since the recession, with a labor force participation rate of 73.3 percent. In the first quarter of 2019, there were a total of 47 million immigrants and natives, ages 18 to 64, not in the labor force, up from 41.8 million in 2007 and 35.8 million in 2000. These figures do not include the unemployed, who are considered to be part of the labor force because, although they are not working, they are looking for work. There were almost 6.7 million unemployed immigrants and natives in the first quarter of this year.
