The American Enterprise Institute and the Partnership for a New American Economy today released a report analyzing the impact of immigration on the American economy. The nationwide study, based on a multi-year statistical analysis, offers new evidence that immigrants create jobs for American workers, and that immigrants with specific skill types don’t compete with native workers, but complement them and improve their employment outlook.
At the release of the study at AEI’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., U.S. Representative Tim Griffin (R-AR), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, remarked on the report as important evidence for reforming immigration policy with a better focus on skilled immigrants. Also speaking about the link between immigration and jobs, in a discussion led by AEI fellow Nick Schulz was Sudhakar Shenoy, the Indian-born, U.S.-educated CEO of technology-consulting firm IMC, Inc.
