On Full Focus, Professor Gordon Hanson discussed the conclusions of a new report which says that contrary to popular belief, immigrant workers are having a positive effect on nearly all workers in the Golden State – mainly in the form of higher salaries and expanded business opportunities.
A new report from the Public Policy Institute of California or PPIC says that overall immigrant workers have helped California’s economy. The study says there's no indication immigrant workers took jobs from native workers and that from 1990 to 2004 average real wages for native workers went up by 4 percent.
