The April Jobs report blew away the tariff crash hysteria. 177k jobs were added, far better than the doomsayers predicted. Even better, more jobs went to native-born workers than foreign-born workers. Even better still, Federal jobs decreased (thanks to Doge).
The US labor market under the Biden administration “grew” almost entirely on the back of “foreign-born” workers, who – as we also first revealed and eventually was widely accepted – were primarily illegal aliens. But in April, we saw a reversal with native-born workers growing and foreign-born workers declining.
And Federal workers continue to decline.
The good news? The Fed will likely not change rates at the next meeting.
I hope the good news on employment continues!
