Alaska’s immigrant population is growing at a faster rate than almost any other place in the nation, and most of the people who arrive in the state are of working age. Immigrants are starting new businesses, paying taxes, and helping build our local economies. On the next Talk of Alaska we’ll talk about the contributions of foreign-born Alaskans and the challenges they face when starting a life here.
