Study shows immigrants, their children struggling economically

The Phoenix Business Journal

A new study shows that many immigrant families in Arizona are living in poverty or toiling near the bottom of the economic food chain.

The report released Wednesday shows that two-thirds of immigrant children in Arizona are in low-income families; 29 percent of immigrant kids live well below the poverty line and that median family income for immigrants in the state is 35,100 per year.

Non-immigrant families earn $52,600 per year and 17 percent of U.S.-born kids are living below the poverty line in the state, according to the study by the Annie B. Casey Foundation.
