| Summary |
This paper, requested by the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, is the third of several reports by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that present facts and research on immigration to help inform the agency's projections of the federal budget and the economy. The paper focuses on the role of immigrants in the labor market--the skills they bring to that market; the types of jobs they hold; their compensation; and their impact on the native-born workforce. In keeping with CBO's mandate to provide objective, nonpartisan analysis, this paper makes no recommendations. The report finds that one of every seven people working in the United States in 2004 was born elsewhere; a decade earlier, only one in ten workers was foreign born. |
