Labor market differences by skill, race, and ethnicity persist in the U.S. This dissertation investigates possible influences on labor markets of less-skilled workers and racial and ethnic labor market gaps. First, it asks how major immigration reform affected relative labor markets. Second, it asks how labor markets of blacks are affected by relatively higher arrest rates. Finally, it asks how immigrant status affected displaced workers' labor market re-entry.

520 $a Labor market differences by skill, race, and ethnicity persist in the U.S. This dissertation investigates possible influences on labor markets of less-skilled workers and racial and ethnic labor market gaps. First, it asks how major immigration reform affected relative labor markets. Second, it asks how labor markets of blacks are affected by relatively higher arrest rates. Finally, it asks how immigrant status affected displaced workers' labor market re-entry.
520 $a Chapter 1 examines the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) impacted less-skilled native workers' relative labor markets. I allow the Act's effect to vary by race. The Act allowed approximately three million illegal immigrants to apply for legal residence in the U.S. Previous work examining the Act's effects has not allowed varying racial or skill impact. I find that IRCA had differential effects by skill level and race. These effects were either short-lived or inconsequentially small in magnitude.
520 $a Chapter 2 examines the relationship between higher relative arrest rates for blacks and their relative labor market outcomes. I find that cities in which blacks have higher relative arrest rates are those in which they have worse relative hourly wages. After controlling for city-specific effects, there is no evidence that higher arrests lead to worse relative labor markets for black males. After controlling for city specific effects, blacks are still assigned to lower status occupations the higher their relative arrest rate.
520 $a Chapter 3 examines the effect of immigrant status on labor market re-entry for displaced workers. Immigrant status positively affects the chances of being re-employed and lowers earnings losses among workers who make a full-time to full-time job transition. The lower earnings losses among immigrants appear to be due to their concentration in the low end of the earnings distribution. Possible explanations for the higher employment probabilities of immigrants are examined. Immigrants are more like to switch occupations when re-employed. I do not find support for the hypothesis that differential access to government income support or non-labor income induced immigrants to search more intensely for work. Additional differences among immigrant groups are examined.
