Migration and the Labor Force
Migration to other countries to work brings about changes to the labor force in both the host and home country. Economists, in particular, examine the consequence of in‐migration on the native labor force in the host country and of emigration on the labor force of the home country. The impact on the wages and employment of the native labor force depends on many factors but is often small or nonexistent.
Coming out of the Shadows: Learning about Legal Status and Wages from the Legalized Population
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) granted amnesty to approximately 1.7 million long‐term unauthorized workers in an effort to bring them “out of the shadows” and improve their labor market opportunities. An analysis of wages using panel data for a sample of legalized men provides evidence that wage determinants are structurally different after amnesty for them but not for the comparison group as measured during the same time peri…

Finding Good Opportunities within Unauthorized Markets: U.S. Occupational Mobility for Male Latino Workers
Unauthorized workers, because of their lack of legal status, have constrained opportunities in U.S. labor markets. We examine the determinants of occupational mobility for a sample of unauthorized Latino men who received temporary residency status under the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Estimates from mobility equations (for both upward and downward occupational mobility) show that English language ability, experience, the risk …

Playing Cat and Mouse at the U.S.-Mexican Border
Border control and apprehension activity represents a major element of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Does apprehending an undocumented migrant deter remigration? If it does not, does it change future migration behavior? I explore these questions by testing hypotheses about the effects of apprehension on the actual and desired length of stay in the United States and on the frequency of migration for undocumented Mexican male migr…
Working Class Rosies: Women Industrial Workers during World War II
After joining the industrial workforce during World War II, women disappeared from industrial employment with postwar reconversion. This article uses data from Ford Motor Company employee records to describe female industrial workers, their work histories before Ford, and their exit patterns from Ford. We draw a more complete picture of these industrial workers and discuss the differences between those who chose to leave Ford and those who left i…
English Language Ability and the Labor Market Opportunities of Hispanic and East Asian Immigrant Men
Immigrant workers will be evaluated by their ability to speak English as well as by their other skills. The empirical work in this article addresses the hypothesis that there is an economic cost to English language deficiency both in occupation-specific earnings and in (cross-sectional) occupational mobility. This analysis suggests that it is costly to be deficient in English, but the cost is ethnically and occupationally specific. Hispanics have…
The impact of origin community characteristics on rural–urban out-migration in a developing country
It is widely believed that structural variables such as inequitable land distribution, lack of rural employment opportunities, and rural-urban wage and amenity gaps influence population movements in developing countries. Yet quantitative evidence is scant. In this paper a multilevel model is used to investigate the effects of individual-, household-, and areal-level factors on rural-urban out-migration in the Ecuadorian Sierra. Data from a detail…
The Labor Market Experience of Female Migrants: The Case of Temporary Mexican Migration to the U.S
In spite of the public debate surrounding Mexican migration to the United States, little is known about the labor market activities of the female component of this flow. This article, using a Mexican national survey, provides a characterization of the labor market activities of temporary female migrants. The roles of schooling, work experience, origin region in Mexico, and legal status are discussed in comparing female and male migrants’ working …

Profiles of Temporary Mexican Labor Migrants to the United States
Profiles of temporary labor migrants from Mexico to the United States are constructed using Mexican data from a nationwide sample. Commuters are compared with noncommuters and males with females. Characteristics according to region of origin are examined and the profiles from this study are compared with those from two prominent previous surveys. Directions for future research are suggested.
