  • Job Mobility among Unauthorized Immigrant Workers

    Open AccessMatthew Hall, Emily Greenman et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2019

    This study evaluates how authorization status shapes job transitions among Mexican and Central American immigrants in the United States. Specifically, using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we impute legal status and track employment histories for authorized and unauthorized workers, as well as native-born counterparts, in the less skilled labor market. We distinguish job moves based on changes in occupations and employer…

  • The Occupational Cost of Being Illegal in the United States

    Open AccessMatthew Hall, Emily GreenmanARTICLEInternational Migration Review2015Cited by: 40References: 45

    Considerable research and pervasive cultural narratives suggest that undocumented immigrant workers are concentrated in the most dangerous, hazardous, and otherwise unappealing jobs in U.S. labor markets. Yet, owing largely to data limitations, little empirical work has addressed this topic. Using data from the 2004 and 2008 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, we impute legal status for Mexican and Central American immigrant…

  • Legal Status and Educational Transitions for Mexican and Central American Immigrant Youth

    Emily Greenman, Matthew HallARTICLESocial Forces2013

    This study uses the Survey of Income and Program Participation to infer the legal status of Mexican and Central American immigrant youth and to investigate its relationship with educational attainment. We assess differences by legal status in high school graduation and college enrollment, decompose differences in college enrollment into the probability of high school graduation and the probability of high school graduates' enrollment in college a…

  • Assimilation Choices among Immigrant Families

    Open AccessEmily GreenmanARTICLEInternational Migration Review2011Cited by: 13References: 16

    This paper explores the relationship between social context, measured in terms of school characteristics, and the assimilation of immigrant adolescents. First, it develops a measure of assimilation based on comparing immigrant adolescents to native peers within the same school. Second, it investigates whether immigrant adolescents' degree of assimilation varies systematically according to school SES. Third, it explores the role of parental and ad…

  • Asian American-White Differences in the Effect of Motherhood on Career Outcomes

    Open AccessEmily GreenmanARTICLEWork and Occupations2011Cited by: 19References: 34

    U.S.-born Asian Americans are unique among American minority groups in that they lack earnings disadvantages relative to Whites with similar education levels. Controlling for education and age, there is little difference in the earnings of U.S.-born Asian and White men, but Asian women have higher earnings than comparable White women. Using data from SESTAT, this study tests the hypothesis that Asian American women's high earnings may result from…

  • Legal Status and Wage Disparities for Mexican Immigrants

    Matthew Hall, Emily Greenman et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2010

    This paper employs a unique method of imputing the legal status of Mexican immigrants in the 1996-1999 and 2001-2003 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation to provide new evidence of the role of legal authorization in the U.S. on workers' wages. Using growth curve techniques, we estimate wage trajectories for four groups: documented Mexican immigrants, undocumented Mexican immigrants, U.S-born Mexican Americans, and native non-L…

  • Double Jeopardy? The Interaction of Gender and Race on Earnings in the United States

    Emily Greenman, Yuting XieARTICLESocial Forces2008Cited by: 57

    There are sizeable earnings differentials by both gender and race in the U.S. labor market, with women earning less than men and most racial/ethnic minority groups earning less than whites. It has been proposed in the previous literature that the effects of gender and race on earnings are additive, so that minority women suffer the full disadvantage of each status. We test this proposition for a broad range of minority groups in the U.S. We find …
