A surge of both legal and illegal immigration under the Biden-Harris administration is drastically changing the general makeup of the U.S. jobs market. The major uptick in the immigrant workforce has helped ease labor shortages but, at the same time, has pushed up the jobless rate among foreign-born workers and the overall workforce. Figures from the Congressional Budget Office show that the U.S. has seen a net gain of more than 9 million immigrants since the end of 2020.
Additionally, a cohort of people in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, are expected to enter the labor market too, following new measures announced by President Biden in June that will help speed up recipients qualifying more easily for long-established work visas. Construction laborers are the most-common occupation for migrants, per the Census Bureau survey, followed by maids and house cleaners, and then cooks.
