New Study Shows Black Employment ‘Not Threatened By Migrants’ In New York City

Greg David at The City reports on a new study conducted by the Center for New York City Affairs at the New School that shows the percentage of New Yorkers born in the U.S. who are employed and in the workforce is at a record high and for the first time ever close to the national number.  In addition, unemployment among Black and Hispanic Workers has declined - both signs that Migrants are not taking jobs from New Yorkers of Color - despite what the Republican Presidential Ticket of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance has been saying.  More than 210,000 Migrants have arrived in New York City during the past two years.  “(The) City’s economy has been under tremendous pressure in recent years - and yet even here, in an incredibly diverse City where over a third of Workers are Immigrants, we find the Trump-Vance campaign is wrong,” said Lauren Melodia, who serves as the Director of Economic and Fiscal Policy at the Center and was the Author of the report.
