The Biden administration's presentation of the labor market as solid is far from the actual reality. The job growth seems limited to part-time foreign workers in certain regions, leaving the majority of the country stagnant. With only 15 percent of metropolitan areas seeing growth in the past year, concerns about the labor market being more like Swiss cheese, full of holes, are valid.
