New jobs are being "snapped up" my immigrants. Great you say.

In the past four years, the number of immigrants into the US, legal and illegal, has closely matched the number of new jobs. That suggests newcomers have, in effect, snapped up all of the new jobs.

“There has been no net job gain for natives,” says Andrew Sum, an economist at Northeastern University.

Sum sees immigrants as one factor behind today’s historical low employment rate among US teenagers. Barely more than a third hold jobs. Over the past four years, the number of employed teens has declined by nearly 1.3 million.
