A new study from the Migration Policy Institute reports a third of the immigrant population living in L.A. doesn't have a high school degree, and 60% don't speak English fluently. According to the study, these immigrants can't access the city's fastest growing job fields, like computer engineering and nursing.
So the question is, will L.A. become "a Third World city with an elite group on top and most on near poverty wages?"
