First of all, it is important to mention that:

• Immigrants make up 54.7% of Miami-Dade County’s total population.
• In 2019, immigrants made up 65% of Miami-Dade County’s workforce.

• 61.5% of workers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields were immigrants in 2019.
• Also in 2019, 73% of immigrants in Miami-Dade County were business owners, contributing more than $2.9 billion that year.

Aside from that, it is worth mentioning that the vast majority of immigrants who come to the US have the firm intention of building a promising future, finding a stable income and helping their loved ones, so they give their best to achieve these goals.

Therefore, immigrants usually accept unconventional or physically demanding jobs, also in sectors where there is a high labor shortage, which undoubtedly contributes to the growth of these industries and stimulates the country’s economy.
