Web exercise: Using data on immigrants' educational attainment by year of entry from the U.S. Bureau of the Census, available at https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2019/demo/foreign-born/cps-2019.html, examine whether U.S. immigrants appear to have become more positively or negatively selected over time. Then discuss the limitations of drawing conclusions about selection using those data.
