This report identifies the quantitative contributions of recent immigrants to labor force growth in the U.S. & in individual geographic regions & states over the 1990-2001 period. The impacts of foreign immigration on national labor force growth in the 1990s were the highest in the entire 60 year period for which such labor force data are available. Charts & tables.
