IMMIGRATION AND THE GEORGIA ECONOMY

NEW IMMIGRANT

COMMUNITIES

Some legal immigrant

communities can provide

low cost labor for many

industries, which helps

businesses grow while

providing cheaper products

and services for the general

population. New populations

also equal new markets for

other Georgia businesses.

Income and sales taxes

provide the government

more revenue, and new

communities also increase

the cultural diversity of an

area. Georgia’s economy

has grown since the mid-

1990s partly due to new

immigrant communities in

the state.
