"This article considers both Arab and Jewish emigration from Israel to the United States, relying on the 5 percent Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) of the 1980 U.S. census. Using the ancestry and language questions to identify Jews and Arabs, we found that over 30 percent of Israeli-born Americans are Palestinian-Arab natives of Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip. While the Jews are of higher educational levels, hold better jobs and enjoy higher incomes than their Arab counterparts, both groups have relatively high socioeconomic characteristics. Both have high rates of self-employment, particularly the Palestinian-Arabs, who appear to serve as middlemen minority in the grocery store business in the cities where they reside. The fact that nearly a third of Israeli-born immigrants are Arabs accounts for the occupational diversity previously observed of Israelis in America but does not account for their income diversity as much as does differences between early and recent immigrants."
本文依据1980年美国人口普查5%的公共使用微观数据样本，研究了从以色列移民到美国的阿拉伯人和犹太人。通过祖籍和语言问题来识别犹太人和阿拉伯人，我们发现超过30%在美国出生的以色列人是以色列、约旦河西岸和加沙地带的巴勒斯坦阿拉伯原住民。虽然犹太人的教育水平更高，工作更好，收入也高于他们的阿拉伯同胞，但这两个群体的社会经济特征都相对较高。两者的自营职业率都很高，尤其是巴勒斯坦阿拉伯人，他们似乎在居住城市的杂货店生意中充当少数族裔中间商。在美国出生的移民中近三分之一是阿拉伯人这一事实，解释了此前在美国观察到的以色列人的职业多样性，但在解释他们的收入多样性方面，不如早期和近期移民之间的差异那么大。
