Feds issued 1.17 million new lifetime work permits in FY17
FY17 green cards exceed 1 million for 9th time in last 10 years
FRI, OCT 5TH
The feds issued 1,127,167 green cards during FY2017, the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2017. The immigration statistics were issued earlier this week.
It's the third highest of the last decade, behind Pres. Obama's last fiscal year (1.18 million) and FY09 (1.13 million.)
More than 267,000 green cards were issued in the Chain Migration categories -- relatives other than spouses and minor children of citizens and legal permanent residents.
The number of refugees who received green cards -- 120,356 -- reached a 10-year high. However, that number does not reflect the number of refugees that were actually admitted. Refugees can't apply for green cards until they've been in the country for at least a year, so most refugees who received green cards entered the U.S. before Pres. Trump took office.
The feds have issued more than 1 million green cards in nine of the last 10 years. Only in FY13 did the number drop below 1 million (990,553). That year followed the creation of Pres. Obama's illegal DACA amnesty program, and USCIS had to process nearly a half-million DACA applications in FY13, slowing down the processing of green card applications.
The green cards issued in FY17 are on par with our updated population projections that are reflected on our new foldover cards. You can learn more about our updated population projections by reading Roy's blog. You can order cards by clicking on the link in the right-hand column.
Unemployment hits 49-year low, but with troubling trends
The unemployment rate dropped 2 points in September, hitting the lowest rate since 1969. That's good news for American workers, but there are still some troubling statistics in the new report.
For starters, the economy added 134,000 new jobs in September. At that pace, the economy will add 1.6 million new jobs per year, which is well short of the number of new workers added each year.
According to the new jobs report, the working-age population grew by 2.7 million over the last 12 months. The difference between the growth in the working-age population (2.7 million) and the number of new jobs that will be created (1.6 million) is equal to the number of new green cards with lifetime work permits (1.1 million) issued by the feds in FY17.
Additionally, the number of Americans with less than a high school degree who hold a job dropped in September. These Americans are the most likely to have to compete with new immigrants admitted through Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery
