Abstract: Most of the policy debate about immigration in the United States is about the appropriate amount of immigration and the appropriate policies toward temporary workers and undocumented workers. These are primarily federal policy issues. But state and local policymakers face a different challenge: that of helping immigrants in their regions adjust to life in the United States, especially economic life. As a basis for state and local immigrant incorporation policy, this report will show how immigrants' economic well-being compares across metropolitan areas.
