 County is an extremely diverse county. Over 20% of Howard County residents were born outside of the country (Institute for Immigration Research, 2022). Unfortunately, 40% of immigrants (vs. 29% of U.S.-born workers) still hold jobs that require mechanical
 skills and are not necessarily high-wage jobs (Bennett, 2020). Immigrants are still not attaining well-paying jobs at comparable rates to the native born, and limited English proficiency is correlated with lower wages (Bernstein & Vilter, 2018).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
