ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Almost half of the immigrants who moved to the United States in the past decade were college-educated, a level of education greatly exceeding immigrants from previous decades, as the arrival of highly skilled workers supplanted workers in fields like construction that shrank after the Great Recession.

New figures released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau show that 47% of the foreign-born population who arrived in the United States from 2010 to 2019 had a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 36% of native-born Americans and 31% of the foreign-born population who entered the country in or before 2009.

And once again the RWM race hustles its listeners/viewers. And that is the point. lie, create fear and race bait. But it appears that as usual the right is wrong on this issue.

The US's newest immigrants are more likely than native-born Americans to have a college degree​

• The number of foreign-born workers in the US has surged in recent years.
• Supporters said they've provided the economy a boost — critics have pointed to the border crisis.
• Recent immigrants typically work in construction or food services and earn less than $40,000 a year.

Nearly three million more Americans are working than they were in January 2020, but the number of US-born workers has barely budged.

That means immigrants, specifically foreign-born workers, are responsible for most of the US job growth of recent years. Foreign-born workers' share of the US workforce rose from 16.8% in January 2020 to 19.3% in March 2024, according to a Business Insider analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

Over 39% of recent immigrants aged 16 or older had a bachelor's or advanced degree, compared to 34% of the US-born population.
