The State of Working
New York 2001;
Working Harder, Growing
Apart
The updated version of this
report, issued by the Fiscal Policy institute, addresses the current harsh
realities of working life in New York and the gradual declines that lead
to them. Chapters include the uneven economic growth of the various regions
of the state, increasing family income polarization, deteriorating wages
and working conditions, and the dominance of the “low-road” economic model.
The report also features a detailed look at regional employment changes
throughout New York State, and a new appendix which illustrates the economic
impact of the September 11th attacks.
Foreign Born Immigarants
in America, 1990 & 2000
“Between March and September
2001 the Demographic Analysis-Population Estimates Research Project [part
of the Census Bureau] examined the historical levels of the components
of population to address the possibility that the 1990 Demographic Analysis
understated the national population and assessed whether demographic analysis
had not captured the full population growth between 1990 and 2000.” The
report specifically addresses the Bureau’s underestimate of the growth
of the U.S.’s immigrant population. Interesting findings include the fact
that in 1990 the residual foreign born were less likely to be male (48.4%)
than in 2001(54.2%) and that, of the residual foreign-born, 26.8% were
from Mexico in 1990 compared to 44.5% in 2001.
