Best States for Immigrants

"Notably, unemployment tends to be lower among foreign-born than among U.S.-born residents. While the unemployment rate among native-born citizens is 5.3%, it is just 5.0% for immigrants. In Alaska, another of the best states for immigrants, the unemployment rate is 2.6 percentage points lower among immigrant workers than among the native-born labor force. This phenomenon is likely in part because immigrants must maintain employment to have their visa renewed."
