Immigrants Create More Jobs Than They Take

One of the more common arguments against immigration is that immigrants are said to take jobs from locals. If they don't physically take jobs from them, the added workers in the labor market drive down wages, so natives get lower income as a result. However it plays out, immigrants are bad for the job prospects of locals. At least that's the common narrative. It's an argument that while there is a certain logic to it, is not borne out by actual evidence. Indeed, research from the Kellogg School of Management highlights how areas with more immigration have actually seen higher gains in per-capita income. The researchers wanted to test whether previous research into the topic had focused too much on the role of immigrants as workers as opposed to entrepreneurs, who might create new businesses that end up employing many people.
