Emerging U.S. Immigrant Geographies: Racial Wages and Migration Selectivity
1University of California.
Social Science Quarterly
|November 4, 2014
Summary
Internal migration helps nonwhite immigrants and the 1.5 generation avoid racial wage gaps. However, moving to new immigrant settlement areas does not offer the same economic protection.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Economics
- Migration Studies
Background:
- The economic incorporation of immigrants and their descendants is influenced by evolving settlement patterns and the maturation of the second generation.
- Understanding immigrant progress requires examining sociological and economic perspectives on internal migration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze how changing immigrant geographies impact the economic prospects of immigrants and the second generation.
- To investigate the relationship between internal migration, state of residence, and wages for different generations of immigrants.
Main Methods:
- Utilized 2000 5 percent Public Use Microdata Files (PUMS).
- Employed endogenous switching regression models to analyze migration selectivity and state residence patterns.
- Examined wage differentials for immigrant, 1.5 generation, and U.S.-born workers.
Main Results:
- Nonwhite immigrant and 1.5-generation workers successfully mitigate racial wage penalties by migrating.
- Residing in emerging immigrant states does not provide the same level of protection against racial wage disparities.
- Internal migration patterns are selective and influence wage outcomes across racialized labor markets.
Conclusions:
- Internal migration plays a crucial role in navigating racialized labor markets for immigrants and the 1.5 generation.
- Assessing new immigrant geographies and the economic prospects of the second generation necessitates understanding migration's wage effects.

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...
