The Labor Markets Initiative produced detailed policy recommendations on how the United States should rethink its immigration policy in the light of what is known about the economic impact of immigration—bearing in mind the current context of the economic crisis, growing income inequality, concerns about the effect of globalization on U.S. competitiveness, the competition for highly skilled migrants, and demographic and technological change.
Within MPI, the project was led by MPI President Demetrios Papademetriou and Senior Vice President Michael Fix. The initiative's work was also guided by a group of leading experts in labor economics, welfare policy, and immigration.
