Foreign-Born Workers Capture 80% of US Job Gains Since 2020
Analysis shows that roughly 8 out of every 10 net new jobs in the United States since early 2020 have gone to foreign-born workers.
According to recent labor market data, foreign-born workers have accounted for the vast majority of net new jobs created in the United States since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. The analysis indicates that roughly 80% of all net job gains over this period were filled by individuals born outside the U.S.
This trend highlights the shifting demographics of the American workforce and the increasing reliance on immigrant labor to fill employment gaps. The data underscores a significant structural change in the labor market, with native-born workers representing a smaller share of the recovery.
