Effects of Language Proficiency

This comparative analysis shows the disparities between foreign-born who are Limited English Proficient and those who are English Proficient. There are three levels of comparative analyses: 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 outcomes of the two groups. A comparison between these two groups seeks to illuminate any disparities that exist due to language proficiency between these two groups.
