The native-born adult population has declined over the past year:

The native-born population has been shrinking and therefore the number of native-born workers has also been shrinking.
This has nothing to do with illegal immigration. It's solely because the native-born population has flattened out:

The US death rate has subsided from its COVID peak and is now only a bit higher than it was in 2019, so the overall population decline this year has to be due mostly to a change in the native-born birth rate around 2008. And sure enough, the US birth rate started to plummet right about 2008. What we're experiencing now is an echo of the Great Recession.
The percentage of the native-born population that's working is about the same as it's been for a long time.
