[IWS] BLS: FOREIGN-BORN WORKERS: LABOR FORCE CHARACTERISTICS IN 2007 [26 March 2008]]

FOREIGN-BORN WORKERS: LABOR FORCE CHARACTERISTICS IN 2007 [26 March 2008] http://www.bls.gov/news.release/forbrn.nr0.htm or http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf [full-text, 14 pages] Foreign-born workers' share of the U.S. labor force continued to grow, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. In 2007, 24.0 million persons, or 15.7 percent of the U.S. civilian labor force age 16 and over, were foreign born. Their share of the labor force was up from 15.3 percent in 2006. The unemployment rate for the foreign born increased by 0.3 percentage point over the year to 4.3 percent in 2007. From 2003 to 2006, it had declined by 2.6 percentage points. The jobless rate of the native born, at 4.7 percent in 2007, was unchanged from the prior year. This news release compares the labor force characteristics of the foreign born with those of their native-born counterparts. The data on nativity are collected as part of the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample survey of approximately 60,000 households. The foreign born are persons who reside in the United States but who were born outside the country or one of its outlying areas to parents who were not U.S. citizens. The foreign born include legally-admitted immigrants, refugees, temporary residents such as students and temporary workers, and undocumented immigrants. The survey data, however, do not separately identify the numbers of persons in these categories. For further in- formation about the survey, see the Technical Note.

METROPOLITAN DESK Price of Labor Peace By STEVEN GREENHOUSE To end the 22-day strike that was embarrassing Yale and grating on its students, the university gave its two main unions wage and pension increases that are generous by most any definition. Yale granted its largest union, representing 2,900 clerical workers, raises of 44 percent over eight years and agreed to a richer pension formula that will increase pensions for most future retirees by 80 percent or more. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DE6D9103AF933A1575AC0A965… ---------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THIS E-MAIL This e-mail was sent to you by a friend through NYTimes.com's E-mail This Article service.

NATIONAL DESK In-House Audit Says Wal-Mart Violated Labor Laws By STEVEN GREENHOUSE An internal audit now under court seal warned top executives at Wal-Mart Stores three years ago that employee records at 128 stores pointed to extensive violations of child-labor laws and state regulations requiring time for breaks and meals. The audit of one weeks time-clock records for roughly 25,000 employees found 1,371 instances in which minors apparently worked too late at night, worked during school hours or worked too many hours in a day. It also found 60,767 apparent instances of workers not taking breaks, and 15,705 apparent instances of employees working through meal times. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0DE5DE1230F930A25752C0A962… ---------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THIS E-MAIL This e-mail was sent to you by a friend through NYTimes.com's E-mail This Article service.
