Abstract

"This article uses the 1970, 1980, and 1990 Public Use Samples of the U.S. census to document what happened to immigrant earnings in the 1980s and to determine if pre-1980 immigrant flows reached earnings parity with natives. The relative entry wage of successive immigrant cohorts declined by 9% in the 1970s and by an additional 6% in the 1980s. Although the relative wage of immigrants grows by 10% during the first 2 decades after arrival, recent immigrants will earn 15%-20% less than natives throughout much of their working lives."

摘要

本文使用1970年、1980年和1990年美国人口普查的公共使用样本，记录20世纪80年代移民收入的变化情况，并确定1980年前的移民群体在收入上是否与本土居民达到平等。连续几代移民群体的相对入职工资在20世纪70年代下降了9%，在20世纪80年代又额外下降了6%。尽管移民的相对工资在抵达后的头20年里增长了10%，但新移民在其大部分工作生涯中的收入仍将比本土居民少15%至20%。
