The Effects of Recent Immigration on Racial/Ethnic Labor Market Differentials

摘要

We analyze the impact of recent immigration on the employment and wages of less educated workers during the 1990s, a period of heightened geographic diffusion of immigrants across the nation. We focus on men residing in metropolitan areas, who are between the ages of 25 and 62 and are from the three major racial/ ethnic groups: white non-Hispanic, black non-Hispanic, and Latino (hereafter referred to as race groups).
