The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census, representative of the civilian noninstitutional population of the United States. Using the CPS data, “this report finds that the arrival of new immigrants (legal and illegal) in a state results in a decline in employment among young native-born workers in that state. Our findings indicate that young native-born workers are being displaced in the labor market by the arrival of new immigrants."
