About Immigrants in Central Ohio

In 2021, US Together worked with New American Economy, in partnership with Welcoming America, Columbus City Council, and the Franklin County Commissioners, to take part in the Gateways For Growth (G4G) program. This program includes the creation of a comprehensive report detailing the economic impact of immigrants in Central Ohio. The report, released at the New American Forum in May 2021, demonstrated that immigrants have an enormous positive impact on the region, and account for nearly 11 percent of the labor force, help to preserve manufacturing jobs, and pay more than $2.1 billion in taxes. Read the press release here and download the full report here.
