New Report by U of MN professor Katherine Fennelly and Humphrey Institute graduate student researcher Anne Huart.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF IMMIGRANTS IN MINNESOTA

To download a copy of the report please visit this link:


"We have all heard public and private debates regarding the costs and
contributions of immigrants in Minnesota and in the United States, but
too few of these conversations have been informed by facts. To rectify
this, the Minnesota Business Immigrant Coalition asked U of MN faculty Katherine
Fennelly and Anne Huart to review and synthesize the best, unbiased
research on this contentious issue. The result is in the enclosed
report. Please feel free to share it with others. One of the links is
to the full color report; the second is to a printable version with
lesscolor. If you would like to order full-color print copies at $15 each,
please contact Ms. Mary Lou Middleton at garza001@umn.edu."
