Occupational Context and Wage Competition of New Immigrant Latinos with Minorities and Whites
Race-Gender Composition and Occupational Pay Degradation
This article investigates the influence of race-gender composition on pay deterioration in occupations. The analyses use occupation-level data derived from Current Population Surveys to model wage changes from 1971–1981 and 1982–1992. I demonstrate wage erosion—for white men and other incumbents-in female-dominated fields, and show the effect to be driven by white women's representation. Pay also eroded in occupations with a large share of Africa…
Too Few Good Men? Available Partners and Single Motherhood Among Latinas, African Americans, and Whites
The authors test whether structural indicators of mate availability—Wilson’s marriageable pool and sex ratio arguments—help explain individual-level racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of single motherhood among young women. Using the Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) data for greater Los Angeles, they add mate availability measures to individual-level models. Quantity alone (sex ratio) is unrelated to single motherhood, but relative ava…
Working with Co-Ethnics
We demonstrate that Mexicans and Central Americans legalized through the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act suffer a substantial pay penalty for working at jobsites where co-ethnics predominate, above and beyond the influences of low levels of human capital, employment in informal or secondary sector jobs, or in less-skilled occupations. Utilizing the 1992 Legalized Population Survey, we regress wages on individual, job, and occupational cha…
Dynamics of Segregation and Earnings in Brown-collar Occupations
Panel analyses of occupation-level data derived from Los Angeles census data elucidate both the limited labor market success of recent-immigrant Latinos and their potential impact on natives. The author investigates (a) trends in representation of newcomer Latinos in occupations that started with relatively undesirable characteristics and (b) pay degradation (for natives and immigrants) in occupations with strong overrepresentations of newcomer L…
Brown-Collar Jobs
I theorize immigrant employment as a case of occupational segregation and investigate earnings and segregation of recent-immigrant Latinos relative to native workers. Analyses of greater Los Angeles 1980 and 1990 Census 5% PUMS demonstrate increased marginalization of immigrant Latinos in 'brown-collar' occupations (where Latino immigrants are vastly overrepresented among incumbents). During the 1980s earnings inequality grew between recent immig…
