Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper, we present a study of labor market impacts of highly skilled immigration in the United States. We apply a multi-level methodology to analyze the 2000 U.S. Census data to examine whether higher presence of skilled immigrants affects negatively the earnings of native (and immigrant) workers in skilled jobs. The results indicate that the earnings effects of the nativity composition of location-specific jobs are not linear. For the overwhelming majority of native men and women percent foreign born in a job is positively associated with earnings. But there is a tipping point after which more immigrants result in earnings decline. The findings highlight the importance of structural features of employment of highly skilled native and foreign-born workers.
