About the Presentation

The presentation will give an overview of the labor market effects of immigration, including its impact on workforce growth, labor market efficiency and productivity. We’ll review evidence on whether immigrants lower the wages and employment of natives. We’ll also consider what we know about the likely impact of immigration policies such as canceling TPS or implementing universal E-Verify on immigrants’ labor market outcomes.
