Josh Smith on Immigrants’ Role in Economic Recovery

This week on JobMakers, host Denzil Mohammed talks with Josh Smith, research manager at The Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University, about his work to demonstrate the outsized impact immigrants have on the economy and our culture. Josh describes some of the the negative narratives and the "othering" of immigrants, even though they’re part of our communities. Despite repeated fears that each new migrant group would never assimilate, America remains a “nation of immigrants,” and this is its not-so-secret sauce - as you’ll learn in this week’s JobMakers. Guest: Josh Smith is a Research Manager for the Center for Growth and Opportunity at Utah State University. He researches immigration policy in the US and his writing has been published in several national outlets including Newsweek, The Hill, and Yahoo News. He graduated with a Master’s in Economics from Utah State University in 2018.
