Under Trump the big jobs growth has been for 55s and over

Importing cheap labor immigrants only hurts young Americans who need work experience. Older Americans are actually working longer to support their kids who can't get adequate employment.

This is insane.

Employment levels since Trump election in November 2016 through December 2019, seasonally adjusted:

55+:    +8.9%
25-54: +3.4%
20-24: +0.4%
18-19:  -0.2%

Actual increases in levels: 

55+:    +3,086,000
25-54: +3,335,000
20-24:      +55,000
18-19:         -7,000
