The initial occupational placements of
male immigrants in the U.S. labor market vary significantly
by country of origin even when education and other factors
are taken into account. Does the heterogeneity persist over
time? Using data from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 U.S.
Censuses, this study finds that the performance of migrants
from countries with lower initial occupational placement
levels improves at a higher rate compared with that of
migrants originating from countries with higher initial
levels. Nevertheless, the magnitude of convergence suggests
full catch-up is unlikely. Country specific attributes are
found to have less direct impact on the rate of assimilation
than on the initial performance. |
