Mexican-American Boom: Births Overtake Immigration B
irths have surpassed immigration as the main driver of the dynamic growth in the
U.S. Hispanic population. This new trend is especially evident among the largest of all Hispanic groups, Mexican-Americans, ac- cording to a new analysis of U.S. Census Bu- reau data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a proj- ect of the Pew Research Center. In the decade from 2000 to 2010, the Mexican-American population grew by 7.2 million as a result of births and 4.2 million as a result of new immigrant arrivals. This is a change from the previous two decades when the number of new immigrants either matched or exceeded the number of births. The current surge in births among Mexi- can-Americans is largely attributable to the immigration wave that has brought more than 10 million immigrants to the United States from Mexico since 1970. Between 2006 and 2010 alone, more than half (53%) of all Mex- ican-American births were to Mexican immi- grant parents. As a group, these immigrants
are more likely than U.S.-born Americans to be in their prime child-bearing years. They also have a much higher fertility rate. Meanwhile, the number of new immi-
grant arrivals from Mexico has fallen off steeply in recent years. According to a Pew Hispanic Center analysis of Mexican govern- ment data, the number of Mexicans annually leaving Mexico for the U.S. declined from more than one million in 2006 to 404,000 in 2010, a 60% reduction. This is likely a result of recent developments in both the U.S. and Mexico. On the U.S. side, declining job op- portunities and increased border enforcement may have made the U.S. less attractive to po- tential Mexican immigrants. And in Mexico, recent strong economic growth may have re- duced the “push” factors that often lead Mex- icans to emigrate to the U.S. As a result, there were fewer new immi-
bailouts that are now floundering alongside our economy. Don’t be offended if they ask you take person- ality tests and psychology tests - office supplies are expensive, insider trading is reputation-crushing, argu- ments with customers are costly, and any other unethical behavior is com- pletely unaffordable in the long term business world. It’s about change today - buisnesses are scrutinizing applicants thoroughly enough to try and prevent any more harm to their reputations and their bottom line.

population continued to grow rapidly, with births accounting for 63% of the 11.2 million population increase from 2000 to 2010.1 At 31.8 million in 2010, Mexican-Ameri-

selective these days about soft skills and specializations, and they have little patience for people pushing for higher salaries during the interview process, no matter what scale on the ladder they’re trying to reach, the recruiter will wonder if the candidate has sound decision-making skills at all. Even worse are candidates who show up for interviews with little knowledge of the

According to Pew Hispanic Center tabulations from the March 2010 U.S. Current Population Survey, 39% of Mexican-Americans—or 12.4 million—are immigrants. With the exception of Russia, no other country in the world has as many immigrants from all countries as the U.S. has from Mexico alone. Nor does any country in the world have as many citizens living abroad as does Mexico. According to the World Bank, more than 10% of Mexico’s native-born population lives elsewhere, with the vast ma- jority (97%) of these expatriates living in the United States.
