In this note I examine the economic status and economic prospects of low-skilled immigrants in the changing American labor market.... While low-skilled immigrants maintain strong employment levels they are concentrated in the most menial low-skilled jobs and their wages are declining relative to those of natives. The substantial deterioration of the economic status of low-skilled immigrants in the last decade raises important policy questions concerning ways to address the plight of this growing segment of U.S. workers.
