A new study by the Brookings Institute takes a close look at the education levels, employment levels, and economic contributions of immigrants to the biggest 100 U.S. metropolitan areas.

 

Results differ significantly by geographic area (there’s a nice interactive chart you can scroll through to see what numbers of immigrants your city attracts and their “skill level ratio”), but the research shows that the majority of today’s immigrants are well-educated compared with those arriving here in the past.
