The U.S. Census Bureau has published new data tables detailing the foreign-born population by generation, using information from the 2024 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC).
These tables offer a breakdown of social and economic factors such as employment status, education, household income, poverty status, race, age, and sex. The data distinguishes among first-generation individuals (foreign-born), second-generation individuals (with at least one foreign-born parent), and third-and-higher generation individuals (with two U.S.-born parents) living in the United States.
The Current Population Survey is recognized as one of the country’s oldest and largest surveys. It serves as a key source for monthly labor force statistics and supports additional studies that help monitor the economic and social well-being of people in the United States.
