It is primarily being driven by healthcare workers, so luckily there is no cause for concern with the latest budget slashing Medicaid disbursements. I will say that apparently there is a healthy chunk of Twitter trying to salvage to claim that since all Biden's hiring was foreigners this fixes it.

So the ‘foreigners’ are being taken out of the job pool, but their jobs are not being filled? This is not the good that they think it is.

I haven't ventured back to check, but saw a few screenshots about holding the line and this is to be expected to fix the demographics, but last year there was a "foreign born hires outstrip native born hires" panic on right social media that was explained by baby boomers retiring keeping pop static.

given that there were more people born in the US in the late 1950's than early 00's, and in turn there were more people born in US then than now of course the only source of numbers for NEW jobs can come from immigrants as existing will only replace retiring/dying boomers. Maga can't do math

These are the same people that thought everyone got an Obama phone, SS#, and $900 cash to cross the border
