Family Members Received Majority of U.S. Employment-Based Green Cards in 2022

The Cato Institute's recent report reveals that in 2022, family members obtained over half of the employment-based (EB) green cards issued in the United States, contrasting with global immigration norms.

Key insights from the report:

• Disproportionate Distribution: In 2022, 55% of EB green cards were allocated to family members, leaving only 45% for skilled workers. This stands in contrast to the global trend where family-based and employment-based immigrants typically follow distinct paths.
• Cato Institute Findings: The report by the libertarian think tank highlights a significant deviation from the usual global practices in the distribution of EB green cards in the U.S., favoring family members over skilled workers.

This report underscores a notable departure from global standards, emphasizing a higher proportion of EB green cards allocated to family members compared to skilled workers in the United States during 2022.
