Claim: Native-born workers accounted for all U.S. job gains during the six-month period from January to June 2025.
On July 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor posted (archived) on X: "Under @POTUS, native-born workers have accounted for ALL job gains since January.
We also reached out to the BLS for comment on the use of its employment data in the social media posts.
The data analysis confirmed that native-born workers accounted for 100% of non-seasonally adjusted job gains during the January-June 2025 period, as foreign-born employment decreased by 543,000 jobs during this timeframe.
Most employment data reported in the news is seasonally adjusted, which removes these predictable seasonal effects to show underlying trends more clearly.
