Every job done by an illegal takes away a job that could be done by an American.

You flat statement about all the new jobs going to illegals is false and unsupported by any sourcing

Lot of illegals working for cash that is not reported. Go to any truck dock in an urban area, there are ATM’s available on the dock to pay “lumpers” in cash to unload your truck. Big companies are looking the other way at the lumper practice so they don’t have to hire full time workers.

This is the best comparable data series.

Population-employment ratio, ages 25-54 (prime working age)

Upshot - Its been a very long slow recovery since 2008. Trump has not yet had a significant effect on the rate of improvement. Its all continued to improve, but no miracle, and there is a significant way to go to hit the peak, in 1999-2000.

More interesting maybe is the same, ages 16-24

This is fascinating. The peak here was way back in 1978. There has been a very long term decline in the rate of kids working. I suspect its so many of them in college.
