| A World of Opportunity | |||||
In February, the Center for an Urban Future published A World of Opportunity: Understanding & Tapping the Economic Potential of Immigrant Entrepreneurs, a major report which documents that immigrant entrepreneurs have become an increasingly powerful economic engine for New York and other American cities. The report, which concludes that immigrant entrepreneurs have the potential to provide an even bigger boost to these cities in the years ahead, has been covered in publications ranging from USA Today and the LA Times to Business Week and the Chicago Tribune. A sample of the coverage can be viewed below.
