Pre-Pandemic Immigration Levels may Boost the Economy
Pre-pandemic immigration levels would reduce labor shortages
According to a recent Axios report, if the US can return to pre-pandemic immigration levels, then it can effectively address labor shortages with the help of foreign workers, even if only partially.
This is because, as the global Coronavirus pandemic almost completely paused international traffic, immigration levels in first-world countries like the US dropped dramatically, affecting sectors that rely heavily on foreign workforce.
Let’s look at some important facts:
- Hundreds of companies in all sorts of sectors are facing alarming labor shortages, putting local production and, ultimately, the stability of the American population at risk.
- There are now 3 million more jobs available compared to before the pandemic, decreasing the likelihood that local companies will be able to find qualified workers in the short term.
- According to official figures, there are currently approximately 10 million jobs available and, due to multiple influencing factors, American citizens are not filling these positions.
Therefore, Axios explains that increasing immigration levels may not be the only solution available to reduce labor shortages, but it is at least a very effective and efficient alternative to ease the burden on the local market and American workers.

The pandemic slowed down immigration process
Aside from the fact that the global pandemic itself paused immigration almost completely, former President Trump’s administration suspended the issuance of all kinds of visas in the midst of the health crisis, which naturally delayed and slowed down immigration processes within the country.
Therefore, now that the landscape is gradually returning to normal thanks to the national vaccination project, several legal immigration processes are tremendously delayed and there is a rather alarming backlog of immigration cases across the country.
In other words, the current government should not only focus on returning to pre-pandemic immigration levels, but should act promptly to streamline and optimize existing immigration processes to offer local employers the ability to hire foreign workers in a simple and effective way.
