Immigrant study finds no signs of harm to employment - But report on Green Bay doesn’t gauge effect on wages

The Hispanic population in Green Bay could reach 30 percent of the population by 2032, according to a Wisconsin think thank that studied recent demographic trends.

But a report released today by the nonpartisan think tank Wisconsin Policy Research Institute said immigration into Green Bay doesn’t appear to have negatively affected local employment opportunities and doesn’t draw a conclusion on its impact on local wages.

“On balance, it’s a positive and healthy development but does have an acute effect on certain segments of the population,” said David Dodenhoff, an Arizona social scientist who wrote the report and has been hired several times by the institute to analyze data.”*
