Immigration and poverty related: qué sorpresa

13:00 H | Topics: Immigration

clpogimage.jpgThe headline for an article from yesterday's Washington Times affirms my idea that the "art" of headline writing is lost (it was reaffirmed this weekend in the Sunday NYT with the headline of an article about Israeli spas: "Going to a spa? Mazel Tov!"): "Immigration, Poverty Linked". The article, nonetheless, is interesting:

So "immigration can have a large impact on the labor market," he said, adding: "The wages of high school dropouts have fallen between 5 [percent] to 8 percent in the past 20 years." A recent report released by the Pew Hispanic Research Center showed that Hispanics, who constitute more than half of immigrants entering the U.S. today, accounted for a 68 percent share in the growth of the nation's "poverty population" between 1990 and 2000.
