Study Projects Trump Immigration Policies to Reduce US Workforce by Millions, Slow Economic Growth

A comprehensive study indicates Trump-era immigration policies may remove millions from the U.S. workforce and significantly slow economic expansion. The analysis projects labor force reductions of 11 million workers by 2035 and a substantial decline in annual GDP growth rates.

Major Workforce and Economic Impacts Projected

Recent analysis from the National Foundation for American Policy suggests the Trump administration’s immigration policies could substantially reduce America’s workforce and slow economic growth over the coming decade, according to the study released Friday. The research indicates these policies would decrease the projected number of workers by 6.8 million by 2028 and 15.7 million by 2035, with net labor force reductions estimated at 4 million and 11 million workers respectively for those years.
