Updated fact sheets from the Economic Policy Institute detail immigrant workers’ economic contributions in every state—and show how many jobs Trump’s mass deportations have already destroyed and could potentially eliminate in every state by the end of his term. The fact sheets also quantify the wage boost that low-wage workers in each state would get if they were provided with a path to citizenship, which sharply contrasts with the harm being done to the economy through mass deportations.

Each state fact sheet includes the following data, where available:

Economic contributions of immigrants: The fact sheets highlight the central role that immigrant workers play in state economies. This includes:

• The percentage of jobs that are filled by immigrant workers
• Immigrant workers’ contribution to economic output
• The industries and occupations with the highest share of immigrant workers
• The share of immigrants who are entrepreneurs and business owners

Cost of mass deportations: Increased immigration enforcement harms everyone in the labor market—immigrants and U.S.-born workers alike. The fact sheets document job losses already linked to immigration enforcement surges since 2025, and estimate what would happen if the Trump administration meets its deportation targets, including:

• Lost tax revenue in each state
• Total jobs lost in each state, including construction jobs and losses for U.S.-born workers

Immigrants with status protections are under threat: The fact sheets show how many workers in each state hold temporary protection from deportation—including Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and DACA—that are now at risk from Trump administration attacks. Losing these protections would jeopardize these workers’ ability to live and work lawfully in the U.S., destabilizing families and the workforce.

The benefits of creating a pathway to citizenship: In contrast to deportations that lead to job losses, providing citizenship would stabilize and strengthen the state’s workforce and economy. The fact sheets estimate how many people in each state would directly benefit from a path to citizenship, and the annual wage gain that would result.

“Across every state, the data tell the same story: Immigrant workers are integral to state economies and help drive economic growth, mass deportations kill jobs, and a path to citizenship would boost wages and strengthen the economy for all working people,” said Daniel Costa, EPI’s director of immigration law and policy research.
