Report: Immigrants contribute $15 billion to Maine economy
Original: Immigrants contribute $15B impact to Maine economy, report finds
A new report finds that immigrants contribute an estimated $15 billion in economic impact to Maine, according to Mainebiz. The figure highlights the significant role immigrant workers, entrepreneurs, and consumers play in the state's economy, at a time when immigration remains a debated topic nationally and states assess the effects of foreign-born residents on local labor markets and growth.
Why now: Immigration's economic impact is a contested national topic, and a concrete state-level figure gives people new numbers to debate.
