Immigration Policies Impact Texas Job Growth and Industrial Employment
TL;DR Summary
Immigration enforcement policies implemented since mid-2024 have slowed inflows of foreign-born workers into Texas, contributing to weaker job growth and labor supply issues, especially affecting sectors reliant on immigrant labor. This decline in immigration, combined with increased arrests and a chilling effect on immigrant communities, is impacting worker retention and hiring, potentially leading to slower overall economic growth in Texas and nationally.
