Hispanics Net Most New Jobs

hanks to mass immigration and the corporate cheap labor lobby, Hispanic employment in the U.S. over the last five years rose by 20 percent, while employment of non-Hispanics increased only 1.7 percent, a new analysis shows.

Recent employment figures from Edwin S. Rubenstein of the economic consulting firm ESR Research, also show that America's growing Hispanic population, although only one-eighth of the entire U.S. workforce, took almost half of all new jobs created in December.

That months' job gains for Hispanics is part of a larger pattern, according to Rubenstein's data.

"Since the start of the Bush administration, Hispanics have taken 59 percent of all jobs created," Rubenstein said in a January posting on vdare.com. "This is happening, of course, because Hispanic immigrants are cheaper than the native-born. In large part, that is because they can avoid the annoying cost of income tax, Social Security and health insurance deductions."
Many illegal aliens workers are paid "under the table" by employers.

"Because so many Hispanics are immigrants and the children of immigrants, Hispanic employment is the best proxy we have for the impact of immigration on employment. The ratio of Hispanic to non-Hispanic employment growth is a strong indication of how foreign-born workers fare relative to native-born workers..." he said.

Rubenstein said that from January 2001 through January 2006, Hispanic employment rose by 3,226,000 - 20 percent - while non-Hispanic employment increased by 2,072,000, or just 1.7 percent. He said Hispanic participation rates in the labor force rose to 69.3 perent from 68.4 percent in December. Non-Hispanic labor force participation rates were unchanged.
