The economic impact of immigration of unskilled workers ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The economic impact of immigration of unskilled workers is the drop in wages due to an increase in the supply of labor. This is because more workers mean that the competition for jobs increases, leading to lower wages for all workers. There is no evidence to suggest that the impact on the African American community was positive or that new job opportunities were created for natives. While the impact on dairy farms and chicken-processing plants may be negative, this is not a generalizable answer for all industries.
