2 The U.S. Current Population Survey [CPS] permits us to compare directly to the native­born, but the foreign­born data do not distinguish by admission status. The CPS data also include illegal aliens who have extremely low levels of education in the foreign­born category. See: Fix, M.; Passel, J.S. 1994. Immigration and Immigrants: Setting the Record Straight. Washington, DC: The Urban Institute. These figures for the diversity class of admission correspond to data on education collected by the U.S. Department of State for diversity immigrants only. 3 The initial results from the NIS pilot show that about 40 percent of adult nonexempt family immigrants are not employed. Alternatively, more than 95 percent of employment­based principals are employed. The INS admission figures for "no occupation" include children and persons who are unemployed, retired, or for whom no information is given.
