Earlier this month, I broke down the jobs report that was hyped as evidence that Bidenomics was working and found that at least 1 in 5 jobs being created were actually government jobs.
Worse still, 1 in 10 jobs added in January came from “employment in social assistance”. What was driving this sudden boom in welfare jobs? The real boom was happening on the border. Cities are being flooded with masses of migrants who need social workers to care for them.
New York City is cutting school lunches for kids while Denver is slashing funding for parks to be able to care for migrants. Some of the job growth in Bidenomics consists of the country, and states and cities going deeper into debt to provide more benefits for the illegal alien invaders.
But the “job growth” in Bidenomics still posed a puzzle that confused the Wall Street Journal which wondered why the unemployment rate is now actually higher than it was a year ago and the labor force participation rate is only up 0.1%. If there really was a booming job market, the unemployment rate should have dropped sharply and the labor participation rate should be up.
So where did the supposed millions of jobs that Biden is bragging about come from?
A report from the Center for Immigration Studies however shows that the job growth is mostly happening among immigrants while the number of Americans in the workforce has actually declined since before the pandemic. The report found that, “there were still 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans working in the fourth quarter of 2023 than in the fourth quarter of 2019, before Covid. The number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9 million over 2019.”
Steven Camarota of CIS speculates that, “half the net increase in jobs went to illegal immigrants.”
Some of this may be attributable to the corporate embrace of DEI. An EEOC report found that 94% of the S&P 100 jobs in 2021 went to minorities. The major corporations hired only 20,524 white workers and 302,570 minorities. White people make up 57% of the country, but got only 6% of the jobs. While white workers were less likely to be hired, they were far more likely to be fired. Of the jobs lost among the country’s top companies, 68.5% were held by white workers, 16.5% by black workers, 9.7% by Hispanic workers and 2.3% by Asian workers.
If the numbers showed a pattern of exclusion so severe toward any other group than white people, there would be civil rights investigations and lawsuits being launched to end this kind of systemic discrimination. But while much of this shift was attributed to BLM, that corporate DEI wokeness may be misleading because the EEOC breakdown showed that 40% of the new jobs in 2021 went to Hispanic workers while only 23% went to black workers.
The Hispanic unemployment rate fell from over 18% during the pandemic to less than 5% now and the Hispanic labor force participation rate is higher than the national average. The highest participation rate is for Salvadorans who make up a sizable percentage of the border migrants.
The Hispanic employment boom is tilted toward Central America rather than the general Latino sphere. Non-migrant Hispanics, like Puerto Ricans, have a fairly low labor force participation rate while Hispanics from migrant nations have a much higher one. They’re driving job growth.
What does that look like?
Migrants, including children, are working at jobs all over the country. Some companies were more blatant than others about their use of migrant child labor to do all of their dirty work.
“If migrant children needed to work full time, it was preferable for them to have jobs at a well-monitored workplace,” Cheryl Pinto of Ben & Jerry’s argued.
Migrant children have had their hands crushed in milking machines or mangled to death in poultry plants. They routinely secure jobs using bought, borrowed or stolen IDs from Americans.
Behind Bidenomics are illegal alien kids working in Dickensian conditions in poultry plants, milking facilities and sawmills and providing the inflated job growth that looks good on paper.
Since many of the illegal alien arrivals were never employed in America, there is the illusion of job growth, but the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate don’t improve.
The job growth under Bidenomics isn’t going to Americans.
Open borders is not just a strategy for demographically transforming America, it’s also at the core of Bidenonomics. Even as cities and states groan under the mass of invaders, corporations get plenty of cheap labor allowing them to deliver big numbers for Wall Street. The stock market ticks on even as American families are being wiped out by high prices and economic decline.
Bidenomics is pretty good if you’re an illegal alien or if you’re in a position to profit from them, but catastrophically bad for everyone else. It’s also not sustainable. While surveys and studies have been rolled out from governmental organizations and think tanks arguing that immigrants are driving economic growth, the cost to taxpayers is much greater than any of the benefits.
The only long term economic growth provided by open borders is for the welfare state which also appears to have accounted for 1 in 10 new jobs in January. But how many social workers can we employ to cater to a cheap labor force while taxpayers go bankrupt to pay for it?
In Maine alone, each migrant cost $56,000 just to house. New York City spent $1.45 billion on migrants, Chicago spent $361 million, Denver spent $180 million, and it’s getting worse.
American cities are going bankrupt and cutting services to pay for those ‘Bidenomics’ jobs.
Bidenomics means American children are going hungry in schools, it means Americans losing their jobs to illegal aliens and it means an endless spiral of government spending on illegal aliens driving inflation to higher levels so that Americans can’t even afford to buy food.
And then the media wonders why Americans hate Bidenomics.
Looking forward to America running two trillion dollar budget deficit year after year.. Come on Biden, you should be letting in at least five million illegal immigrants a year. In no time at all, you will be a minority.
If you’re worried about deficits, you should comment on Greenfield’s stance that cities should spend more on public schools and parks.
You should learn to appreciate America more than illegal aliens parasites.
The public schools should be closed down all across the nation. Private schools would spring up to replace them at a lower cost and a better education. The school system as its stands now is a useless institution. I do not expect any changes will take place to remedy the situation.
I’m not worried about the Federal Budget deficits because I expect the country to suffer a financial collapse in the near future. The warning signs are just beginning to appear. America will suffer a major economic earthquake that will bring America to its knees.
Private schools are lousy but nothing could be worse than the government school system. And it costs a fortune every year. I agree with the people without kids who complain that they’re taxed to pay for other people’s kids.
If Trump is cheated in the next election as he was in 2020, there’ll definitely be a financial collapse. I agree with you.
A major US economic collapse is exactly what the uniparty and their globalists confederates want. An economic collapse would necessitate suspending the US Constitution and imposing an indefinite martial law to maintain “law and order.”
Imagine what the Marxist dems and the GOP establishment would do in that scenario. Imagine the lucrative financial deals the uniparty establishment would work out with their globalist confederates.
The uniparty establishment isn’t all that fond of the US Constitution or the American people. They prefer that ‘we the people’ be subjects rather than citizens.
How come US citizens can’t sign up for any of the illegal alien loot provided by the Biden
administration.
This blatant discrimination against US citizens must end now.
Furthermore, US citizens must be compensated for the harm and damage and losses imposed upon them by the Biden administration illegal alien policies..
The 100,000 US citizen murders facilitated by Mexico and by Mexico’s pushing of Mexican manufactured fentanyl and other drugs into the USA is a travesty and a crime being committed by the Mexican and US government’s insane policies which permit and result in the murder of so many innocent US citizens.
Mexico and the Mexican president Obrador, and the US government and Biden and his administration are mass murderers of US citizens.
The are committing hideous insidious violent crimes against US citizens.
The Mexican government and the Biden administration are the real enemies of America and US citizens. ( As well as the depraved psychopathic murderous Islamic lunatics.)
Something effective must be done to stop these corrupt mass murdering criminals.
Meanwhile Biden the Blunder wants to use the K.C. Chief Super Bowl Parade shooting as a excuse for More Useless Gun Control Laws and we thought Vultures were opportunists. At least Vultures have better Manners
Yeah, because two useless thugs blasting away at each other in a very crowded setting would have been avoided with just one more law.
It was actually yet another black shooting. No doubt guns are the cause of rampant black violence, not the black penchant for it and the left’s support for it..
I did enjoy seeing one of the punks tackled and pummeled by a bystander while other people joined in and held him for the police, who eventually showed up. There were cops all over that event so there’s no excuse for their tardiness. I guess if you live in KC, don’t expect the police to do anything but draw a chalk line around your corpse if you get into trouble and dial 911.
The woman who picked up the rifle the punk dropped and kept it away from him is black, so that’s good news. She’s attractive, too.
Thanks Jeff! Everyone knows that street criminals can get guns on the black market, so gun control means only criminals will have guns.
Thanks Daniel, excellent analysis. Getting the statistics right is a real conundrum.
Thank you. Especially when the government is involved in massaging the stats.
Totally. Hispanics are driving job growth? The horror! I thought the problem with Hispanics is that they’re lazy and don’t work. Confusing, Daniel!
The problem with beaners, especially illegal aliens, is they take jobs from better qualified people and depress wages nationally.
You’re as stupid as you are evil.
The government has little choice but to massage the stats to keep up the appearance that things are going well went they aren’t.
For the average person living in the “real world”, who are you going to believe, the government or your lying eyes when you: go the the grocery market, stop at the local gas station to refuel or when you see your latest utility bill?
“Beaners”? What about the rice eaters from “Chiner” or falafel eaters from the middle east or the Fufu eaters from Africa? Aren’t they a problem too? Or you just don’t like Mexicans?
We’d consider replacing you with a migrant, but you already work for free.
For example, some jobs may be partly attributable to government and partly not. Hard to estimate the percentage due to government.
“Bidenomics is pretty good if you’re an illegal alien or if you’re in a position to profit from them, but catastrophically bad for everyone else.”
Biden’s response: “Right on Daniel! That’s my plan – me and VP Ho call it our replacement agenda for America- in fact, I’m thinking about requiring web pages like yours to be printed in Spanish so that we can replace you next – he he he!”
Thank you for the truth, again!
My dad was a cpa. He would say, “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure“.
This scheming anti-citizen government employs Americans instead of the Americans employing the government.
It’s as if this government promotes itself as the foster home of illegals and uses all the citizens’ money to pay expenses for foster care. It wants to flip flop illegals into the ‘new’ citizens while it disempowers and disenfranchises the ‘old’ citizens.
How long will it take to literally bankrupt America’s citizens, to make them wholly dependent on this tyrannical government, and to make the precious American right to vote obsolete as it bleeds Americans dry?
Technically, speaking, the US is already bankrupt but our pusillanimous politicians don’t have the intestinal fortitude to admit it. To do so would be an admission of culpability in the matter and they’re never going to do that.
It takes courage and a spine to admit guilt and that you were wrong. A quality that few if any politician possesses. Capitol hill is crawling with spineless maggots.
“employs Americans instead of the Americans employing the government.”
great way of putting it
“DEMOCRATS are addicting everyone to FREEBIES, as Addictive as Heroin, so when we all become JUNKIES, we have to Vote for Them in order TO GET OUR FIX!” SC
Democrat Campaign Slogan: “Free Free Free… but you must Vote for Me Me Me!” SC
Biden is now chipping away, little by little, at the Student Loan Forgiveness bribe. His total forgiveness didn’t work so he’s doing it $5 billion at a time. Now, the other student borrowers ARE NOT paying their minimum payments hoping that he’ll eventually forgive theirs too. Why pay a dime when hopes are that he’ll forgive them. Even Republican students, and their parents, will vote for that not caring that it’s a con and part of the BRIBES4VOTES PROGRAM!
Biden Bribe not prosecuted or exposed when he told voters in Georgia to vote for the two Democrats running for Senate: “IF YOU WANT YOUR $2000, YOU MUST VOTE FOR THESE DEMOCRATS!” Them winning gave control of the Senate to Schumer but then again, The Turtle helped him just to get Trump!
That’s what the Stimulus Checks are for… bribes and by September and October, they’ll be throwing checks out of airplanes which will be inside a Mail-In Ballot already filled out and signed!
Businesses will be hiring more Hispanics to be able to communicate with their new non-English speaking customers. Single language salesmen persons need not apply. Come to Miami to see your future.
And liberal leftists propaganda rags like Time are all in favor of this Invasion and so it the United Nations and CFR
The Bidenflation is ruining the country
“The beauty of a bureaucracy is that no one person is responsible” (paraphrased) – Philip K. Howard, The Death of Common Sense.
In a compartmentalized honeycomb-type hierarchy, each and every bureaucrat can claim that they fulfilled their list of duties, and can always rely on the beehive to take the blame…
Bidenomics: It’s a form of institutionalized criminal insulation, with BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars running extortion loops like BLM.
I find it curious we haven’t heard much at all about the number of illegals still crossing the border since Gov. Abbott took over Eagle Pass. One would think the problem has been solved. Hmmm.
Illegals must be isolated, ignored and despised everywhere they go in this country! Dont give them any work or respect. They are here to destroy America! No S American countries or Mexico fought or helped America during WWII! They are COWARDS and BUMS!!
Texas has the right idea their telling Biden the DNC, CFR, Soros, UN, Globalists to GO POUND SAND
