Recent surveys show that newly arrived immigrants in the U. S. are larger in number and less educated compared to those before Covid, largely due to a surge in illegal immigration from Latin America.
• Education levels of newcomers dropped significantly; those with a bachelor’s degree fell from 46% in 2018 to 41% in 2024.
• The percentage of newcomers with no education beyond high school rose from 36% to 46%.
• The influx of less-educated immigrants has contributed to a 54% rate of low-income newcomers in 2024.
• The number of new arrivals from Latin America increased sharply, making up 62% of newcomers in 2024.
The decline in education among new immigrants poses challenges for social mobility and job competition, emphasizing the need for policy adjustments.
