DOES HUMAN CAPITAL RAISE EARNINGS FOR IMMIGRANTS IN THE LOW-SKILL Labor Market?*
2015Co-Authors: Matthew Hall, George FarkasAbstract:2003 to estimate the determinants of differentiation in intercepts and slopes for age/earnings profi les of low-skill immigrant and native male workers. Our fi ndings provide further depth of understanding to the “mixed ” picture of earnings determination in the low-skill Labor Market that has been reported by others. On the positive side, many immigrants are employed in similar occupations and indus-tries as natives. Both groups show substantial wage gains over time and generally receive similar returns to years of schooling completed. Immigrants also receive substantial returns to acculturation, measured as age at arrival and English language skill. These results cast doubt on the strong ver-sion of Segmented Labor Market theory, in which low-skill immigrants are permanently consigned to dead-end jobs with no wage appreciation. On the negative side, immigrants earn approximately 24% less than natives and are less likely to occupy supervisory and managerial jobs. Latino immigrants receive lower returns to education than do white immigrants. Furthermore, age at arrival and language ability do not explain the lower returns to education experienced by Latino immigrants. These results suggest that Latino immigrants in particular may suffer from barriers to mobility and/or wage discrimination. Whether these negative Labor Market experiences occur primarily for illegal immigrants remains unknown

does human capital raise earnings for immigrants in the low skill Labor Market
Demography, 2008Co-Authors: Matthew Hall, George FarkasAbstract:We use monthly Survey of Income and Program Participation data from 1996–1999 and 2001–2003 to estimate the determinants of differentiation in intercepts and slopes for age/earnings profiles of low-skill immigrant and native male workers. Our findings provide further depth of understanding to the “mixed” picture of earnings determination in the low-skill Labor Market that has been reported by others. On the positive side, many immigrants are employed in similar occupations and industries as natives. Both groups show substantial wage gains over time and generally receive similar returns to years of schooling completed. Immigrants also receive substantial returns to acculturation, measured as age at arrival and English language skill. These results cast doubt on the strong version of Segmented Labor Market theory, in which low-skill immigrants are permanently consigned to dead-end jobs with no wage appreciation.

Work segmentation in the Norwegian salmon industry: the application of Segmented Labor Market theory to work migrants on the island community of Frøya, Norway
Marine Policy, 2015Co-Authors: Rachel Tiller, Lillian Hansen, Russell Richards, Hillevi StrandAbstract:Work migration is increasing in Norway, particularly in the production sector of the aquaculture industry. This sector is growing rapidly and manual Labor needed in the industry is consistently being sought through Eastern European networks and temp-agencies. This article looks at the island community of Froya, in Sor Trondelag in Norway, where around 20% of the population is of foreign descent, and where stakeholders in the production line experience a lack of upward mobility due to their lack of Norwegian language skills, and the insecure nature of their employment status. The capacity of the island community to adapt to a 3-fold increase in aquaculture production will depend on this segment of society as well being able to adjust, and on their inclusiveness in society. Based on a stakeholder driven workshop looking at the perceptions of a set of foreign workers in the aquaculture industry,Segmented Labor Market theory was applied to the experience of the workers. The priority issues of the migrant population of Froya involved in the aquaculture industry was also explained, and their wish for upward mobility and job security, as well as inclusiveness in society eLaborated upon. This upward mobility, however, would lead to the bottom segment of the Labor Market on Froya – the aquaculture production line – to have to be filled with another lower segment group of workers.
