Oregon was home to nearly 400,000 immigrants, 55,000 of whom had at least a bachelor's degree in 2009-13. More than one-quarter (27 percent) of these highly skilled immigrants were either working in low-skilled jobs or unemployed. As a result of this skill underutilization, they did not realize about $272 million in annual expected earnings, resulting in nearly $28 million in forgone yearly state and local tax revenue.
