The US Labor Force
Participation Rate measures how many Working Age US Citizens form age 16 to age
65 are employed in each month. In 2018, this remained between 62.7 and 63. The
Rate increased in October 2018 from 62.7 to 62.9.

Despite the fact that
the US added 4,304,000 jobs since January 2017, the Labor Participation Rate
did not advance beyond 63. I believe too many of these jobs continue to go to
immigrants.
If we can limit
immigration, I believe we will see the US Labor Participation Rate rise.
Companies are planning to add or return manufacturing and other operations.
Jobs will become available after these facilities become operational. I expect
to see US jobs normalize in 2019 and 2020. This should return more middle class
jobs and return minimum wage jobs back to US high school and college students.
