What Immigration Means to Delaware (Infographic)

Delaware has a sizable immigrant community, much of which hails from Mexico. Roughly 9 percent of the state’s population was born in another country, while 7 percent of residents are native-born U.S. citizens with at least one immigrant parent. Delaware benefits from the various ways immigrants participate in the economy and labor force, with foreign-born residents accounting for a fifth of the state’s architecture and engineering employees and 18 percent of residents working in Delaware’s insurance and finance industry.
