698K Native-Born Americans Lost Their Job In August: Why This Suddenly Is The Most Important Jobs Chart
After the Fed admitted over a year ago that the US unemployment rate (which in 2012 was supposed to be a rate hike "threshold" once it hit 6.5% and is now at 5.1%) has become irrelevant in a country where a record 94 million people have left the labor force, and with the Fed poised to hike rates even though US hourly wages have not only not increased for the past 7 years, but for the vast majority of the labor force continue to decline, some have asked - is there any labor-related chart that matters any more?
The answer: a resounding yes, only it is none of the conventional charts that algos and sometimes humans look at.
The one chart that matters more than ever,has little to nothing to do with the Fed's monetary policy, but everything to do with the November 2016 presidential elections in which the topic of immigration, both legal and illegal, is shaping up to be the most rancorous, contentious and divisive.
The chart is the following, showing the cumulative addition of foreign-born and native-born workers added to US payrolls according to the BLS since December 2007, i.e., since the start of the recession/Second Great Depression.
The chart is especially important because what it shows for just the month of August will be enough to provide the Trump - and every other - campaign with enough soundbites and pivot points to last it for weeks on end: namely, that in August a whopping 698,000 native-born Americans lost their job. This drop was offset by 204,000 foreign-born Americans, who got a job in the month of August.

So, more immigrants then?
I think the terms the media and the Fascists prefer are:
"guest workers", "refugees", and "migrants"
I’ve noticed over the past 5 or so years that every bank, pharmacy, fast food chain, construction site, public school, government office, and customer service (via telephone) has almost no white males anywhere. Virtually every one is a white female, black or brown male, or black or brown female.
And of course the straight, white, Christian male is particularly in danger of extinction here in the USA.
Most workers making less money than 5 years ago.
Call them “illegals”.
The rest of the article.
“But the punchline: since December 2007, according to the Household Survey, only 790,000 native born American jobs have been added. Contrast that with the 2.1 million foreign-born Americans who have found a job over the same time period...and you have a combustible mess that will lead to serious fireworks during the next GOP primary.”
Bet the farm that 2.1 mil doesn’t include jobs taken by illegal immigrants.
Thought I was the only one seeing fewer white males in most places. Glad I’m not totally insane.
They don’t even appear in advertising and brochures as much anymore.
Yes, and now our government is wanting to bring in more immigrants, especially radical Muslims. It’s not only Jeb. I’m very disappointed that Carson and Cruz apparently are also in favor of more immigrants to take jobs from us. Maybe they can be persuaded to change their minds.
The reason Americans are not getting mad is the social safety net. Take that away and the outrage would boil over.
Definitely not in TV ads except as the token idiot. There are idiots in all demographics but the others must not shown whenever possible.
We have operated under official, government enforced Discrimination for decades now.
There are two sets of laws in America, one for approved "minorities" (blacks, women, Hispanic, etc), and one set for white males and Christians.
Our Constitution and Bill or Rights died years ago.
Pro Racist... Never heard it described that way. Lol.
Stock up on food, water, and cash.
If you see this sign at your WalMart or grocery store....run.
You can still find white males in advertising and commercials.
They play the idiotic fool, especially if he is a husband and father white guy.
No, it doesn't. They don't release statistics on our invaders.
Look at corporate job recruitment pages:

You got that right.
Someone needs to tell Ted Cruz that unless he changes his stand on increasing H1-B visas, that he stands little chance of even getting on as VP for Trump, much less the top of the ticket.
