101,000 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders from Ukraine live across the U.S.
Ukrainian TPS holders contribute an estimated $2.6 billion to the U.S. economy each year, and annually pay $716 million in combined federal, state, and local taxes.
Ukrainian TPS holders contribute more than $1 billion each year to metro economies.

| Seattle | $231 million |
| New York | $175 million |

50,000 TPS holders from Ukraine are already in the U.S. workforce.
Forcing Ukrainian TPS holders out of their jobs would drive up costs for everyday Americans, raising the prices of food, goods, healthcare, and critical services.
TPS holders from Ukraine strengthen states across the U.S.
We must ensure protections for TPS holders from Ukraine continue.
Our economy and families rely on it.
Data, Methods, Notes
Population and worker estimates are based on augmented 2024 American Community Survey (ACS). Total number of TPS holders is as of early 2025. All estimates were prepared by Dr. Phillip Connor, research fellow at Princeton University's Center for Migration and Development. See phillip-connor.com for more information on the ACS methodology. Economic contribution is the total annual income after the payment of taxes.
