PLIGHT OF AMERICA'S WORKING WOMEN – AT 11:58 A.M. ET:   I didn't know this, but I think we should all be aware of it.  From the Washington Examiner:

The surge in the numbers of foreign-born women getting U.S. jobs at the expense of American-born women expanded in August, continuing an eight-year trend.

New Bureau of Labor Statistics info detailing August jobs shows that the number of U.S.-born women 16 and older with jobs declined by 90,000 and rose for foreign-born women by 141,000.

There are currently 59.258 million American-born working women compared to 10.028 foreign-born working women.

Secrets last month reported that all job gains among women since the 2007 recession hit went to foreign-born women workers.

In December of 2007, 9.041 million foreign-born women workers were employed, for an increase of 1.128 million. In December of 2007, 59.322 million American-born women workers were employed, for a decrease of 161,000.

The total number of foreign workers employed in the U.S. stands at 24.914 million.

COMMENT:  Please note the deep interest of "women's" organizations in these numbers.  They're as interested in this as they are in the tragedy of Muslim women.  Whatever the left wants, they do.  Their interest in the real lives of women is secondary.  And yet, they're asked no challenging questions by news organizations.  American women matter.
