The effect of immigrant arrivals on migratory patterns of native workers / Randall K. Filer. 330 $aSince the 1970's, the striking increase in immigration to the United States has been accompanied by a marked change in the composition of the immigrant community, with a much higher percentage of foreign-born workers coming from Latin America and Asia and a dramatically lower percentage from Europe. This timely study is unique in presenting new data sets on the labor force, wage rates, and demographic conditions of both the U.S. and source-area economies through the 1980's. The contributors analyze the economic effects of immigration on the United States and selected source areas, with a focus on Puerto Rico and El Salvador. They examine the education and job performance of foreign-born workers; assimilation, fertility, and wage rates; and the impact of remittances by immigrants to family members on the overall gross domestic product of source areas. A revealing and original examination of a topic of growing importance, this book will stand as a guide for further research on immigration and on the economies of developing countries. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aForeign workers$zUnited States 606 $aLabor market$zUnited States 606 $aEmigrant remittances 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForeign workers 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aEmigrant remittances. 676 $a331.6/2/0973 701 $aBorjas$b George J$0124108 701 $aFreeman$b Richard B$g(Richard Barry),$f1943-$0118990 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454172903321 996 $aImmigration and the work force$91938006 997 $aUNINA
