The U.S. Census Bureau has published new data tables on the foreign-born population in the United States, using information from the 2024 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).
These tables present details on social and economic characteristics such as employment status, education, household income, poverty status, race, age, and sex. The information is organized by generation: first generation (foreign-born individuals), second generation (those with at least one foreign-born parent), and third-and-higher generation (individuals with two parents born in the United States).
The Current Population Survey is known as one of the country’s oldest and largest surveys. It is widely recognized for providing monthly labor force statistics and for gathering additional data that helps inform about the nation’s economic and social conditions.
