Recent Migration and Visa Trends in New England and Implications for the Labor Market

Riley Sullivan

No 2023-1, New England Public Policy Center Regional Brief from Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

Abstract: From 2010 to 2021, 56 percent of the total population growth in New England came from increases in foreign-born residents. The labor force participation rate of foreign-born residents in the region in 2022 was 4 percentage points higher than that of native-born residents. While numbers of J-1 visa workers and international students in the region have declined, overall temporary employment visa use in the region has continued to rise.
