5 States With Highest Migrant Workers in the US

3. New York

Total number of foreign-born workers: 4,427,356

Percentage of foreign-born workers: 22.30%

Migrants are prohibited from applying for a work permit before 180 days from the date of their asylum application, which has resulted in the gaps not being fulfilled.
