Haiti

The U.S. labor market looks set to lose more than 200,000 workers at once.

ICE has ramped up immigration arrests. That, on top of changes to temporary protected status, could have huge economic implications.

Staffing shortages are likely to intensify as the Trump administration ends a program that gave 350,000 Haitians the right to live and work in the United States.

“Haiti is now facing the prospect of living without any traces of a recognizable state for the first time in a long time,” says MIT’s Malick Ghachem.

Migrants fleeing Haiti for greener economic pastures in the U.S. often face difficulties finding employment and adequate housing.

Despite its lack of order, it works.

Haitians, whose temporary protected status is ending in the U.S., are helping to solve the problem.

Their protected status ends in 2019. If they have to leave the U.S., how might that affect Haiti’s economy?
