The U.S. Census Bureau has released new data tables focusing on the foreign-born population in the United States, based on information from the 2024 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).
These tables provide a detailed look at various social and economic factors for three generational groups: first generation (foreign-born individuals), second generation (those with at least one foreign-born parent), and third-and-higher generation (those with two parents born in the United States). The data cover employment status, education levels, household income, poverty status, race, age, and sex.
The Current Population Survey is known as one of the oldest and largest surveys in the country. It is recognized as a primary source for monthly labor force statistics and also gathers data used to assess broader aspects of Americans’ economic and social well-being.
