The US saw 143,000 jobs added in January, falling short of economists’ expectations of 170,000. The Burning Glass Institute director of economic research Guy Berger joins Market Domination to examine how immigration policy could influence US job growth.
Berger observes there is "so much focus" on southern border crossings despite recent declines over the past six months. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of monitoring visa issuance numbers for better insights into labor market trends.
While reduced immigration could slow monthly employment and economic growth, Berger explains it "may actually not have much impact on how tight the labor market is."
