Yes, these numbers are good. I hope they hold up and are not revised downwards next month. A good economy, with people employed throughout its sectors, helps every American. Better to be in the American economy than than anywhere in Europe.

Still hasn't caught up to Pre-Covid numbers for native born workers.  Over a million jobs below the peak before Covid.  I'm not seeing the good news for native born 'Muricans.

We'd be well above that now if someone semi-competent was in charge when Covid hit. Instead there was Donald Trump and it'd be hard to come up with a worse person for the job. Like really, really hard.

The Economy is booming.  Bad news for Orange Julius and his magamorons.
