Abstract

This study aims at analysing the relationship between immigration, unemployment, wage and income in the 15 host states in the USA that receive the most immigrants. The bootstrap panel Granger causality test developed by Konya (2006) is employed over the period of 1990-2016. The results indicate that immigration aggravates the unemployment level in the domestic labour market in the seven most populated host states, whereas it has no significant impact on the unemployment level in the remaining eight states. Based on these results, some crucial policy implications could be suggested.
