“…Changes in immigration policy, such as the 1980 Refugee Act, the 1990 Immigration Act, and the Diversity Visa Program have fueled some of the increase (Jasso 2011; Kollehlon and Eule 2003; Logan and Thomas 2012). Migrants enter the United States under an array of legal statutes.…”

“…The costs of migration were relatively high (Jasso 2011), and networks of co-nationals were more sparse. Those still in the United States have stayed for the long haul and are likely to be relatively more successful than recent arrivals.…”

Africans in the American Labor Market

The number of migrants to the United States from Africa has grown exponentially since the 1930s. For the first time in America’s history, migrants born in Africa are growing at a faster rate than migrants from any other continent. The composition of African-origin migrants has also changed dramatically: in the mid-twentieth century, the majority were white and came from only three countries; but today, about one-fifth are white, and African-origin migrants hail from across the entire continent. Little is known about the implications of these changes for their labor market outcomes in the United States. Using the 2000–2011 waves of the American Community Survey, we present a picture of enormous heterogeneity in labor market participation, sectoral choice, and hourly earnings of male and female migrants by country of birth, race, age at arrival in the United States, and human capital. For example, controlling a rich set of human capital and demographic characteristics, some migrants—such as those from South Africa/Zimbabwe and Cape Verde, who typically enter on employment visas—earn substantial premiums relative to other African-origin migrants. These premiums are especially large among males who arrived after age 18. In contrast, other migrants—such as those from Sudan/Somalia, who arrived more recently, mostly as refugees—earn substantially less than migrants from other African countries. Understanding the mechanisms generating the heterogeneity in these outcomes—including levels of socioeconomic development, language, culture, and quality of education in countries of origin, as well as selectivity of those who migrate—remain important unresolved research questions.

“…15 For our purposes, and as it relates to the inclusion of a fixed-effect, the data coding correctly places the person into the undocumented sample and then into the documented sample. Using the New Immigrant Survey, Jasso (2011) reports that roughly 40 percent of new legal immigrants in 2003 had some experience of being in the U.S. illegally at some time before attaining legal status. The percentage whose spell of illegality is most likely to have more immediately preceded legalization is about 12 percent (Jasso 2011: Table 6).…”

Abstract: Using matched employer-employee data from the state of Georgia, this paper investigates how differences in wage responsiveness contribute to the determination of observed wage differentials between documented and undocumented workers. Facing fewer employment opportunities, undocumented workers are found to be about 22 percent less sensitive than documented workers to employers' wage adjustments. In addition, this difference in wage responsiveness accounts for 27 percent of the observed within-firm wage differential between documented and undocumented workers. Implications of the results for recent state immigration legislation are discussed. Terms of use: Documents inJEL classification: J42, J61, J2
