Posted by WHYY on September 10, 2024

Immigrants play a big role in the local economy – as workers, business owners, taxpayers and homeowners.

This new series of reports present data-driven profiles of foreign-born entrepreneurs and workers, including the kinds of businesses they run, what sectors employ them, the wages they earn and more.

The event will also feature:

  • A conversation with Zeke Hernandez, author of “The Truth about Immigration”
  • A panel discussion featuring three immigrant business owners sharing their experiences launching and maintaining businesses in Philadelphia

Date and Time: Wednesday, September 18, 2024, 9:00-10:30 AM
