The Foreign-Born Population, the U.S. Economy, and the Federal Budget

Congressional Budget Office

No 58939, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: About 45 million people living in the United States in 2021 were born in other countries. Foreign-born people accounted for about half of the growth of the U.S. labor force between 2002 and 2018. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, the size of the foreign-born labor force dropped considerably because of changes in immigration policy and the pandemic.
