Joe Biden’s casual comment about the possibility of a nuclear Armageddon got weirdly little attention—but at least it got more than another Armageddon that has already happened: immigrant displacement of American workers, building relentlessly throughout his time in office, has now decisively broken out to an all-time high.

In September

  • Immigrants (legal and illegal) gained 681,000 jobs, a 2.38% gain from August
  • Native-born Americans lost 477,000 positions, a 0.37% decline from August.
  • Thus VDARE.com’s immigrant employment index, set at 100.0 in January 2009, rose to 135.5 from 132.4 in July, a 2.34% increase.
  • VDARE com’s native-born American employment index declined last month, to 107.5 from 107.9 in August, a 0.37% reduction.
  • Thus the New VDARE American Worker Displacement Index (NVDAWDI), our name for the ratio of the immigrant to native-born American employment growth indexes, soared to a record 126.1 in September from 122.7 in August, a hefty 2.75% increase. 

Despite 864,000 immigrants reported as unemployed in September,

the foreign-born working-age population expanded by 2.240 million, year-over-year. It was the fourth month in the last five that that the immigrant population grew more than two million, year-over-year.

Never over the past 15 years has the immigrant working-age population expanded this much, for this long.

Another displacement metric—the immigrant share of total employment—hit a record 18.458% in September.

Again, this the highest since we started tracking employment by nativity in January 2009

In June of this year 17.847% of jobs were held by immigrants.
