Contrary to the stereotype of undocumented migrants as single males with very little education who perform manual labor in agriculture or construction, a new Pew Hispanic Center report shows that

• most of the unauthorized population lives in families,
• a quarter has at least some college education and that
• illegal workers can be found in many sectors of the US economy.

The report builds on previous work that estimated the size and geographic dispersal of the undocumented population and offers a portrait of that population in unprecedented detail by examining family composition, educational attainment, income and employment.

The Pew Hispanic Center offers an RSS feed. This gives you a quick way to follow the top level research.

As we've mentioned, our future hangs on our ability to manage and improve the Hispanic workforce. The Pew Hispanic Center offers a great starting pint for throwing out the stereotypes and looking at the facts.
