Arkansas is ranked fourth among states with a fast-growing immigrant population, according to the Winthrop Rockefeller Center, which is presenting a profile of immigrants in Arkansas.
It's a three-volume report that points out some interesting statistics, such as an 82 percent increase in the foreign-born population of Arkansas between 2000 and 2010.
The report also says the economic contribution of immigrants in Arkansas was $3.9 billion in 2010.
They say the goal of the study is to help community leaders better understand the immigrant population.
