Immigrant Workers Helped Prevent Economic Troubles in US
==========

Economic experts and business owners in the United States say immigrant workers have helped keep the country from falling into a recession. The unemployment rate has gone down, but rates have continued to rise. People like Luisana Silva and Mariel Marrero, immigrants from Venezuela, have found jobs and are able to support themselves and their families. The number of native-born Americans in their 'prime working years' has dropped, but immigrants have filled that gap. Immigrants accounted for almost 19 percent of the U.S. labor force in 2023. Immigrants are doing important work that many Americans will not do and are likely to start new businesses. The U.S. economy has room for more workers.
