Pennsylvania is home to an increasing number of immigrants, many of whom hail from India and the Dominican Republic. About 1 in 14 residents of the state is an immigrant, while 1 in 10 Pennsylvania entrepreneurs is an immigrant. Much of Pennsylvania’s economy relies on the manufacturing industry, which benefits from the state’s growing immigrant population.
Several sectors benefit from immigrants’ participation in the workforce; a fifth of Pennsylvanians working in the life, physical, and social sciences are immigrants, as are 11 percent of residents working in the food and accommodation industry. As neighbors, business owners, taxpayers, and workers, immigrants are an integral part of Pennsylvania’s diverse and thriving communities and make extensive contributions that benefit all.
