Despite the value of migrants' work experiences and the substantial technical and interpersonal skills developed throughout their lives, the labor-market contributions of these migrants are often overlooked and their mobility pathways poorly understood. Skills of the "Unskilled" reports the findings of a five-year study that draws on research including interviews with 320 Mexican migrants and return migrants in North Carolina and Guanajuato, Mexico. The authors uncover these migrants' lifelong human capital and identify mobility pathways associated with the acquisition and transfer of skills across the migratory circuit, including reskilling, occupational mobility, job jumping, and entrepreneurship. 606 $aForeign workers, Mexican$zUnited States 606 $aLabor market$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aGuanajuato (Mexico)$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 610 $aamerican labor. 610 $abusiness. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aeconomics. 610 $aeducation. 610 $aemigration and immigration. 610 $aentrepreneurship. 610 $aguanajauto. 610 $ahuman capital. 610 $aindustrial relations. 610 $ainterpersonal skills. 610 $ajob jumping. 610 $alabor market. 610 $alabor studies. 610 $alabor. 610 $alimited formal education. 610 $amexican migrants. 610 $amexico. 610 $amigrants. 610 $amigration studies. 610 $amigration. 610 $amigratory circuit. 610 $amobility. 610 $amoney. 610 $anorth carolina. 610 $aoccupational mobility. 610 $apolitical. 610 $areskilling. 610 $atechnical skills. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $aunskilled workers. 610 $aunskilled. 610 $aworking class. 615 0$aForeign workers, Mexican 615 0$aLabor market$xEmigration and immigration. 676 $a331.5/440896872073 700 $aHagan$b Jacqueline Maria$f1954-$01673793 702 $aHerna?ndez-Leo?n$b Rube?n 702 $aDemonsant$b Jean-Luc 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827966903321 996 $aSkills of the "unskilled"$94038131 997 $aUNINA
