ORLANDO, Fla.
"Usually immigrants start off in the U.S. lagging behind a bit in terms of income, as they need to find the right job, learn local skills and so on and then catch up," said Giovanni Peri, an economist at the University of California, Davis."Immigrants also are very different among each other, and those naturalized may be a selection of those more educated and with better jobs."

Monday's figures also look at differences between naturalized immigrants and those who aren't citizens. In 2018, the U.S. had 45.4 million foreign-born residents, or about 1 in 7 U.S. residents.
