Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky challenge myths about immigrant labor, exploring how newcomers have shaped U.S. industries for generations– from farms and factories to today’s STEM and service sectors. Drawing on a decade of research, they trace patterns of upward mobility across immigrant families, the pace of cultural and economic assimilation, and how immigration reshapes opportunity for both newcomers and U.S.-born workers.
