Abstract: Immigrants are an intrinsic part of Americas workforce. In 2013, 17 percent of all workers ages 18 to 6424 millionwere immigrants. Immigrants are an even larger proportion of workers without a high school diploma, of whom 44 percent are foreign-born. In industries such as landscaping, apparel manufacturing, and animal slaughtering and processing, more than one-third of workers are foreign born. Among medical and life science professionals, 43 percent are foreign born.1 With the aging of baby boomers and the continuing low birth rates, the competitiveness of Americas labor force hinges more than ever on the effective integration of immigrants into the workforce.
