Attracting and Retaining Immigrant Newcomers: What States and Cities Need to Know

Posted by Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians on July 21, 2014

You know immigrants have helped the City of Philadelphia reverse decades of population loss.

But did you know other cities and states are seeking to replicate Philadelphia’s success in boosting our immigrant population?

More than 30 states and cities have launched immigrant talent attraction and retention initiatives in the past few years.

In our newest slide presentation, find out what Philadelphia has been doing right — and what the findings of our Choosing Philadelphia report suggest our region and others should do in the future.

Take a look at our webinar slides now, or listen to a recording of the presentation.
