Many Fast-Growing U.S. Jobs Go to Immigrants

Bloomberg Businessweek reports:

As the economy sputters along with some signs of improvement, people often point to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’s list of fastest-growing occupations as the bright spots in the labor market. These occupations—in nursing, home health care, and food service—are low-skilled, low-pay jobs, but at least they are market segments that present opportunity.

Much of that opportunity, it turns out, is being seized by immigrants. That’s one finding of an interesting study published Thursday by demographer Audrey Singer of the Brookings Institution in Washington.

An interesting article.
