immigrants return to work faster; allow wages to drop faster
From the AP's Susan Gamboa (hat tip: C-J)...
Two sides of the same coin. Markets adjust from "surplus" (unemployment in labor markets) with renewed demand (hasn't happened much) and reductions in wages/compensation. If wages are slow to fall (as they can be in labor markets), then unemployment can persist.
Unemployment insurance (UI) increases a tendency toward (longer-term) unemployment, by subsidizing those in that state. Immigrants are probably less likely to take UI and apparently, have a stronger work ethic.
