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 610 $aimmigrant, workplace, labor, jobs, careers, economy, economic, economics, finance, financial, wealth, income, poverty, united states, usa, america, american, 1970s, history, historical, contemporary, modern, 20th century, community, change, foreign, latin, asia, europe, study, wage, demographic, essay collection, puerto rico, el salvador, education, performance, assimilation, fertility, gdp. 615 0$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 $a9910782688003321 996 $aImmigration and the work force$93686507 997 $aUNINA
