Comparison of outcomes of foreign-born and native-born New Yorkers.

This comparative analysis shows the disparities between native born and foreign-born New Yorkers who are English proficient. There are three levels of comparative analysis: Those who are high school diploma holders and below; those who have some college and and/or associate degree and those who have bachelor’s degree of above. The comparative analysis shows outcomes for 7 indicators: income, unemployment, poverty, working poor, full time work, homeownership, and rent burden. For each comparison, we show the difference between native- and foreign-born outcomes. A comparison between native and foreign-born New Yorkers seeks to illuminate any disparities that exist for New Yorkers who are similar in productive assets yet differ in whether they are born in the U.S or in another country.
