Immigration and Labor Markets
Labor markets need the same kind of economic freedom to function well as other markets. Rigid rules on hiring and firing, minimum wages, and restrictions on immigration all act to dampen economic growth and job creation. Cato's research on labor markets and immigration demonstrates how open, competitive, and flexible labor markets lead to a more dynamic economy and higher living standards.
