Jessica Kim To Moderate Panel Discussion Regarding The Impact Of Immigration On U.S.-Born Workers For The New Jersey Business & Industry Association

Genova Burns Associate Jessica B. Kim, Esq. will serve as Moderator for an upcoming program who's title asks the question "What is the impact of immigration on U.S.-born workers?" This is a Garden State Immigration Policy Institute program and a joint project of the New Jersey Business Industry Association & the New Jersey Business Immigration Coalition and takes place virtually on January 16. 

One of the key questions confronting Washington policymakers is the impact of immigration on U.S.-born workers. Under what circumstances does immigration strengthen the overall economy, including the job prospects and earnings levels of American workers? And when might immigration harm the interests of U.S.-born workers? This program will not only attempt to answer these questions but will also provide important insight into labor conditions in New Jersey and the extent to which our state must rely on immigrant labor in the future.

This program features a presentation by award-winning Professor Zeke Hernandez of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, author of the recently published book, “The Truth About Immigration.” Dr. Hernandez’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion, moderated by Ms. Kim, and featuring representatives from New Jersey companies and unions, who will discuss the extent of their reliance on immigrant workers.
