U.S. Job Market’s ’Breakeven’ Rate Drops Sharply Amid Immigration Crackdown

The U.S. economy now requires just 10,000 to 40,000 new jobs monthly to maintain current unemployment levels—a dramatic decline from the 230,000 needed as recently as 2024. July's 73,000 job additions far exceeded this threshold, reflecting tightened labor supply due to immigration restrictions.
Think tanks Brookings Institution and AEI highlight this structural shift in a recent paper. The change renders traditional job growth metrics less indicative of economic health, with monthly averages of 147,000 jobs added over the past decade now appearing disproportionately high against the new baseline.
