Abstract:

Recent studies of immigration raise concerns regarding the socio-economic future of the new second generation, the children of immigrants to the United States; but the empirical evidence is relatively scarce and inconclusive. Using data from the "Second Generation in Metropolitan New York" project and the Census Bureaus Current Population Survey, this paper examines patterns of co-ethnic employment among second generation immigrants in the Metropolitan New York labor market. Since the literature suggests that ethnic economies play an important role in the economic incorporation of immigrants, we study their role in the second generations trajectories into the labor market. We examine the relationship between co-ethnic employment and the main factors suggested in the literature to shape labor market experiences: human capital, social networks, organizational characteristics and labor market opportunity structure. The findings suggest: that (a) co-ethnic employment is a significant (although not a majority) experience for second generation immigrants as well as for their native born counter parts; and that (b) patterns of co-ethnic employment and the factors shaping them vary across groups and industries. Based on these finding we conclude that race and ethnicity do and probably will continue to have an important role in shaping economic trajectories of groups and individuals.
