Poverty Highest Among Recent Immigrants
Poverty levels are highest among the most recent immigrants, those who have come to the United States since 1990, while poverty rates among immigrants who arrived in the United States before 1970 more closely resemble those of the native-born population. Recent immigrants tend to be younger and therefore have less education and work experience than immigrants who arrived in earlier decades. Since 1960, there has also been a dramatic shift in the country of origin of new immigrants, from Europe to Latin America, which could contribute to these poverty differentials. |
