By Dowell Myers, John Pitkin, Julie Park
For the first time in 30 years, the
census has brought news that California’s fortunes may be turning—and these
changes have, surprisingly, gone unreported. Not only have the sharp
increases in immigration of the past few decades leveled off, but fewer
immigrants come to California at or below the poverty line and overall
levels of impoverishment amongst the foreign-born in the state have also
dropped. Taken as a whole, these trends indicate a gradual but historic
turnaround in the state that bodes well for future improvements in the
welfare of its residents.
