Join us on Monday, September 30th, from 1:30 to 2:30 PM, for a presentation by Tom Ginsberg and Mari Gonzalez of The Pew Charitable Trusts' Philadelphia Research and Policy Initiative as they share insights from their latest research on immigration.
The new series examines general population and demographic trends among immigrants, and their upcoming September report will delve into immigrant involvement in the labor market and entrepreneurship. The research is centered on Philadelphia and its metropolitan region, with additional data benchmarking the findings against nine other U.S. cities, including Baltimore, New York, and Washington. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in a meaningful discussion on the evolving dynamics of the immigrant population in our region and beyond.
