Americans took up part-time jobs in huge numbers in May as full-time jobs evaporate under President Joe Biden’s economy, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released Friday.
There were around 133.3 million people employed in the U.S. in May with full-time jobs, 625,000 less than the month before, while the number of people employed in part-time jobs surged by 286,000 to just over 28 million, according to the BLS. The total number of American workers collapsed by 408,000 as a result of the loss in part-time jobs to 161 million.
Despite the total decline in people employed, a separate count of the number of jobs in the economy showed 272,000 new nonfarm payroll jobs were added in the month of May, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.0%. Job additions in the month were led by a 68,000 increase in the health care sector and a 43,000 and 42,000 gain in the government and leisure and hospitality sectors, respectively.
The number of foreign-born workers employed in the U.S. skyrocketed in May, rising by 637,000 for the year to nearly 32 million, while native-born workers declined by nearly 300,000, according to the BLS. Much of the job growth under Biden has gone to foreign-born workers at the expense of native-born workers, leading to illegal immigration bolstering job numbers.
Anyone notice the “Indian” influx ? they are taking all the tech jobs now.
As are most of our doctors now.
They need to speak English or go home!
It’s very frustrating when you go to the doctor and you can’t understand half of what he/she is saying and you leave with more questions than answers. They act like they don’t like it when you don’t understand them.
