Patterns of Economic Attainment of Foreign-Born Male Workers in the United States.

Poston, Dudley L., Jr.

International Migration Review, v28 n3 p478-500 Fall 1994

Examines economic-attainment patterns of foreign-born male workers in the U.S. in 1980 to determine the influence of individual-level factors such as educational attainment, labor market experience, etc. Results indicate that, although microlevel characteristics are not complete answers, they are important for most foreign-born populations in explaining variations in their earnings attainment.
