A new report by the Economic Innovation Group (EIG) has found that H-1B visa holders make a substantial positive contribution to public finances in the United States, with measurable gains across federal, state, and local levels.
The study, titled The Near-Term Fiscal Impact of H-1B Workers at the Federal and State-and-Local Levels, examines the fiscal role of skilled immigrants during their typical three- to six-year visa period. Unlike earlier research focused on lifetime contributions, this analysis highlights immediate effects on government revenues and expenditures.
