Is immigration the solution to the US Labor Market’s problems? As we know, The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sharp drop in international migration to the United States under several different work visa programs.
At the same time, the US labor market has shown signs of tightening—the unemployment rate is low, wages are rising, and job openings are plentiful.
