Since the official end of the recession in June 2009, non-Hispanics have lost 1.3 million jobs — while Hispanic employment is up by 247,000

For every 1,000 Hispanics employed in June 2009 there were 1,015 employed in November 2010 and for every 1,000 non-Hispanics employed in June 2009 there were 988 employed in November 2010. From November 2009 - November 2010, the immigrant labor force (people working or looking for work) increased by 1.8% while the native labor force declined by 0.2%. At the same time foreign-born employment rose 1.3% while native employment was virtually unchanged. The unemployment rate for natives fell mainly because nearly 1.9 million natives left the labor force – too discouraged to look for work.
