More from Waller: Labor supply issues masking weakness in labor demand

Wait 5 sec.

Let's assume Miran's numbers are right and 2 million people have left or been deported from the United States.A large number of those people were employed legally or illegally. Yet since Trump took the Presidency, there have only been 937K job additions in the non-farm payrolls report (through August). If you assume a +50K static rate, then there are at least a million jobs missing there.Now I don't think that 2 million number is necessarily correct but Waller's point stands: If you're deporting a worker, that worker would normally be replaced.
