American Babies Are No Longer Mostly White
As regular readers are no doubt aware, shifting demographics are affecting everything from the labor market, to homeownership, to race relations in America.
In “The ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Recovery” for instance, we documented the stunning fact that in May, the number of foreign born workers lept 279K which means that, assuming the Household and Establishment surveys were congruent, there were just 1K native-born workers added in May of the total 280K jobs added. Alternatively, assuming the series, which is not seasonally adjusted, was indicative of seasonally adjusted data, then the 272K increase in total Household Survey civilian employment in May would imply a decline of 7K native-born workers offset by the increase of 279K "foreign borns."
And while we also noted that these comparisons are apples to oranges, we pointed out that using the BLS' own Native-Born series, the US has added 2.3 million "foreign-born" workers, offset by just 727K "native-born" since December 2007. Because the "foreign-born" category includes both legal and illegal immigrants, it may well be that the surprise answer why America's labor productivity has plummeted in recent years and certainly months, and why wage growth has gone precisely nowhere, is because the vast majority of all jobs since December 2007, or 75% to be specific, have gone to foreign-born workers, a verifiable fact. What is unknown is how many of these millions of "foreign-born" jobs have gone to illegal immigrants who are perfectly willing to work hard, and yet whose wage bargaining power is absolutely nil (after all they are happy just to have a job) thereby leading to depressed wages for native-born workers in comparable jobs, resulting in wage growth which over the past 8 years has been non-existent.
As for the housing market, we recently cited data from the Urban Institute which shows that because the vast majority of new households in the next decade will be formed by minorities, and because minority groups tend to have lower homeownership rates, the overall homeownership rate in America — which has already retraced twenty years' worth of gains — will likely slide further in the coming years.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is embroiled in a legal battle with several states who contend an executive order designed to accelerate immigration “reform” amounted to executive overreach.
In this context, consider the following excerpts from a new Bloomberg piece entitled “American Babies Are No Longer Mostly Non-Hispanic White”:
Racial and ethnic minorities now surpass non-Hispanic whites as the largest group of American children under 5 years old, the Census Bureau said Thursday.
The reversal in 2014 marked a milestone in a trend toward a more diverse U.S. that's projected to continue. Births outnumbered deaths for all ethnic and racial groups last year except for non-Hispanic whites, the new Census data show. A report earlier this year projected that by 2044, today's majority white population will be the minority.
The demographic rise of minorities comes at a time when heightened racial tensions make headlines from St. Louis to Charleston, South Carolina, and as minorities lag in education, earnings and labor market outcomes. In the first quarter, blacks over the age of 25 made 78 cents for every dollar a white worker made, based on median weekly earnings data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hispanic people were even further behind, at 70 cents.
That disadvantage could grow more important to the U.S. economy, because today's ethnic and racial minorities will form the cornerstone of tomorrow's labor market. In the decade through 2022, Hispanics will make up about 80 percent of growth in the workforce, based on Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.
Clearly (and as indicated by Bloomberg) this seismic shift has implications far beyond economics and BLS and Census Bureau data. And with that, we'll close with what we said on Monday about the current (and sad) state of American society:
Increasingly, it seems Americans have lost all faith in the government’s ability to help create the conditions under which groups and individuals with divergent interests can coexist without sinking into a Hobbesian state of nature.

In what slow-to-learn classroom is this article even remotely newsworthy? Was there some information in this post that people did not already know? ZH churns the race card again and again. Why is that?
Will the US government now attack itself & invade under false pretenses?
President Barack Ebola had "weapons of mass destruction"! Attack!
It did that a long time ago, 1860. Killed a large percentage of the population and wreacked unimaginable tragedy on its inhabitants - the sniveling psycho that caused it has a shrine, as to Zeus.
that people want to immigrate to the usa/britain says a lot about the overall state of the world.
I'll be dead before the worst of the ruination by the brown savages has hit us. Thank God.
Well if the babies cannot be white, we hope at least that they are still pink.
Most babies born in the US were non White beginning with the Boomers.
BTW: Why are non White's always "minorities" and "Whites" always the "Majority" despite the math ?
Rosenberg predicted the racial dissolution of the US. Good riddance.
Big buck Yids and Nigro`s often marry blond blued eyed gals. Religious practice has no meaning for couples that have jumped ship for greener pastures. Lifestyles for big buck ship jumpers is shameless. Many attend inter-racial wife swapping orgies highlighted with gay and lesbians freak shows. Youngsters with the wealthy parents are sent to Ivy League schools where they party with the godless.
The program for the USofA and western Europe is proceeding as planned. The program was created and instigated first in the Belgium Congo in 1960. From there, onto Rhodesia and then South Africa. At every turn, the power and influence of the USofA and Europe was used upon the white governments of these countries in ways to weaken their positions and stability. The results were mass murder of innocent white families, chaotic governments and severe economic decline. In a much more subtle way, this same program is underway in the US0fA, and western Europe, the same countries that supported the Marxist in Africa.Conservatives on both continents seen powerless to stop it, OR EVEN IDENTIFY IT. Through the processes of both legal and illegal immigration, once white, christian countries are being flooded with non christian {usually Muslim} mud peoples.
Note that every person is protected under federal legislation except one: The straight white male. Could it be any clearer than that? Whites are being "out bred" at an astonishing pace. They are also losing both political clout and power. These are the first steps before out-right genocide begins. Over the past fifty years or so, whites have been psychologically conditioned not to recognize their plight through NORMALCY BIAS. Under the guise of "leveling the playing field" and "fairness" whites are being institutionally discriminated against, and can't even see it but rather deny it! "Blacks must be behind all of this" says the short sighted. No, but rather blacks are being used as indispensable tools. The power behind this genocide hide {as usual} behind the scenes. Surprisingly, they are a mix of corporations funded by major foundations, the public education system, the media {also funded and controlled through the same foundations} and our own governments. To deny these are largely both Marxist and Jewish, is to be detached from reality.
Few even on this board know the value of your posting. Except in the executive suites, military, technology and medicine white males appear to no longer be needed in the US. The boomer generation will be the last awake or semi awake group of people in the US.
Foundations with infinite perpetual money passed down for generations, have set the policy and social agenda for the US, Europe and for that matter the world, except of course for India and China. Nixons 1968 trip to China was no accident of good will.

U.S. Troops Face Eating, Drinking Restrictions During Ramadan...

Obama's General?
Brig. Gen. John Quintas, 380th Air Expeditionary Wing commander in Southwest Asia, said that the U.S. is "committed to the concepts of tolerance, freedom and diversity." But he added that soldiers should "become more informed and appreciative of the traditions and history of the people in this region of the world... [R]emember we are guests here and that the host nation is our shoulder-to-shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, risking their lives for our common cause to defeat terrorism."
During the 30-day religious celebration of Ramadan, even non-Muslims are expected to obey local laws regarding eating, drinking, and using tobacco in public. Violators can be fined up to $685 or receive two months in jail. A spokesperson for United States Central Command [CENTCOM] said that "we are not aware of any specific instances of anyone being arrested" for such violations.
\For military personnel outside of U.S.-controlled areas, the only exceptions for the rules are for those "performing strenuous labor." Such personnel are "authorized to drink and consume as much food as they need to maintain proper hydration and energy." It is unclear what constitutes "strenuous labor" or whether additional exceptions might be made during a heatwave affecting some areas of the region that has taken hundreds of lives.
