Immigration and the Labor Market

Stockton Professor of Economics Ramya Vijaya, Ph.D., joins the Hughes Center for Public Policy to talk about what the latest labor market data for New Jersey tells us about immigrants’ contributions to the state economy, the implications for immigration policy, and what is at stake in the 2024 election. At a time when immigration is on the ballot, we discuss the local and national economies’ reliance on immigrants’ labor.
