As regular readers are no doubt aware, shifting demographics are affecting everything from the labor market, to homeownership, to race relations in America.
In “The ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Recovery” for instance, we documented the stunning fact that in May, the number of foreign born workers lept 279K which means that, assuming the Household and Establishment surveys were congruent, there were just 1K native-born workers added in May of the total 280K jobs added. Alternatively, assuming the series, which is not seasonally adjusted, was indicative of seasonally adjusted data, then the 272K increase in total Household Survey civilian employment in May would imply a decline of 7K native-born workers offset by the increase of 279K "foreign borns."
And while we also noted that these comparisons are apples to oranges, we pointed out that using the BLS' own Native-Born series, the US has added 2.3 million "foreign-born" workers, offset by just 727K "native-born" since December 2007. Because the "foreign-born" category includes both legal and illegal immigrants, it may well be that the surprise answer why America's labor productivity has plummeted in recent years and certainly months, and why wage growth has gone precisely nowhere, is because the vast majority of all jobs since December 2007, or 75% to be specific, have gone to foreign-born workers, a verifiable fact. What is unknown is how many of these millions of "foreign-born" jobs have gone to illegal immigrants who are perfectly willing to work hard, and yet whose wage bargaining power is absolutely nil (after all they are happy just to have a job) thereby leading to depressed wages for native-born workers in comparable jobs, resulting in wage growth which over the past 8 years has been non-existent.

But we’re still a racist country.
CWII is coming.
“jobs since December 2007, or 75% to be specific, have gone to foreign-born workers, a verifiable fact.”
This reported any where else?
As to the title: Caucasian racial genes are as numerous as ever. Racially there is no significant change.
Culturally, which I assume the author intends, “white” is indeed fading out.
“White” culture just isn’t profitable enough for the media.
Another anti white story , the US has become anti white ,D’oh
My understanding is every nation south of the Rio has a really stellar space program..
Nope, they’re sorta gray when them come out then turn a bit pink then .....
So what? I’m biracial.
Much of this is due to intermarriage. My dad is Hispanic, my mom Anglo. My grandkids are mixed. Guess what, we are all proud Americans!
This will help race relations tremendously!
Whites better bend over and grab their ankles
when you import the population of south america, you’re bound to have an increase in south american births within the US
Zero Hedge is about as believable as the National Enquirer. How about posting some UFO articles instead.
You tell it like it is, Mr. StormFront Troll. Wake up white man! Wake up white quisling! Wake up white collaborators!
Right?
PING!
Sadly, I don't think they do. They've been schooled to look at this country as an unending teat of benefits.
Uh, what do you mean by white. None of my grandkids are white, so are you implying they are not good Americans?
