Immigration Reality: After the Great Recession: Foreign Born Gain Jobs; Native Born Lose Jobs -

The unanswered question is "Why and in what kind of jobs did these changes occur?"

After the Great Recession: Foreign Born Gain Jobs; Native Born Lose Jobs - Pew Hispanic Center: "In the year following the official end of the Great Recession in June 2009, foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs while native-born workers lost 1.2 million, according to a new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Labor data by the Pew Hispanic Center.

As a result, the unemployment rate for immigrant workers fell 0.6 percentage points during this period (from 9.3% to 8.7%) while for native-born workers it rose 0.5 percentage points (from 9.2% to 9.7%)." Oct. 29, 2010
