A recent study by the National Foundation for American Policy revealed that by 2052, U.S.-born workers in the labor force will peak at 146.7 million, and beyond that, only immigrants will sustain labor force growth. The reasons behind such a staggering number include retiring Baby Boomers leaving the workforce, the aging American population and stagnating birth rates.
There is however another factor that could prove to be crucial in the future of the workforce in the country: immigrants, both legal and undocumented, do many jobs that U.S. citizens do not want to do. That's the main finding behind a recent Pew Research Center survey which revealed that 3 in 4 voters (75%) say undocumented immigrants fill jobs that citizens are unwilling to take, while 61% believe the same about legal immigrants.
