Gregory DeFreitas, associate professor of economics at Hofstra University, studied the socioeconomic impact on urban youth of recent immigration. He analyzed data from a survey that examines the experiences and attitudes of New York City employers concerning their employment of youth, immigrants, and others. This analysis, along with a study of the evolution of urban youth employment since the mid-nineteenth century, will form the basis of a book.
