Recommendation
In the United States and many other countries, immigration is a hot topic. Despite media reports that highlight massive waves of migration around the world, the share of immigrants in the global population has remained steady at 3% since 1960, according to economist Çağlar Özden in this instructive, myth-busting report. The public perception of immigrants as job stealers who depress wages is also faulty. Özden’s evenhanded article presents the rarely discussed benefits of immigration to an economy. getAbstract recommends this text to executives and policy makers.
