OK, a stooopid question: How does the BLS know how many "foreign born" there are in the U.S. much less how many of them are employed?

And does that include the Illegal Aliens...oops, my bad, "Undocumented Visitors?" Personally, I think the BLS is full of BS!!!

People are considered in the labor force if they are part of the civilian non-institutional population and they either currently have a job If they do not have a job, and have not sought one in four weeks, they are not considered part of the labor force.

How do they know who has sought a job in the last four weeks and if they haven't found one why aren't they still considered unemployed? Looking for a job should not make uou statistically employed. Also, by considering those people to not be part of the labor force they lower the labor pool and statistically increase the employment rate.

Just like figuring inflation by excluding the cost of food and fuel this is more government deception.

They use sampling and people literally go and interview houses and they ask the question.
