President Donald Trump is growing the nation’s workforce by filling open jobs with native-born Americans, rather than importing more migrants to take such work, Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals.
“Compared with the start of the year, foreign-born employment is down by over half a million workers and American-born employment is up by over two million,” Breitbart News Economics Editor John Carney reported.
And while hundreds of thousands of native-born Americans are scoring jobs in Trump’s economy, the all-important labor force participation rate rose from 61.4 percent to 61.8 percent, with the highest level ever of native-born Americans employed.
The Heritage Foundation’s E.J. Antoni made a similar note, mainly that compared to former President Joe Biden’s migrant economy — where nearly all net job growth went to foreign-born workers — Trump’s economy is delivering nearly all net job growth to native-born Americans.
“What a difference a president makes: last Nov, the 12-month change in jobs among native-born Americans was -1.1 million but for Jun it was +1.7 million; truly remarkable…” Antoni wrote on X.

Employment among American-born workers is up nearly 2M jobs since January, the Trump White House said
The latest workforce data suggests that American workers have been the main beneficiaries in the labor market amid the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration.
The Labor Department's jobs report for the month of June showed that the number of foreign-born workers declined by 348,000 from May — while the number of foreign-born workers has declined by more than 543,000 jobs since January.
By contrast, the number of U.S.-born workers increased by 830,000 from May to June, and is also over 2 million higher than when the second Trump administration began in January.
That comes as a more significant shift in the composition of the workforce when compared with last year during the Biden administration, when foreign-born workers gained 1.025 million jobs and native-born workers picked up 1.099 million jobs over the same time period.
The Trump White House touted the numbers in a statement to the press following the release of the June jobs report.
"For the FOURTH month in a row, jobs numbers have beat market expectations with nearly 150,000 good jobs created in June," said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
"American-born workers have accounted for ALL of the job gains since President Trump took office and wages continue to rise," Leavitt said, adding that the "economy is booming again" and will accelerate further following passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. --->READ MORE HERE
