The effect of immigration on low-skilled American workers.
Cook, Richard J.

The effect of immigration on low-skilled American workers. - 28 p.

Adviser: Christine Nord.

Thesis (M.P.P.)--Georgetown University, 2009.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of new immigrants enter the United States, legally and illegally. Many will obtain employment in low-skilled jobs, such as food preparation, cleaning, construction, and agricultural labor. A growing volume of studies have analyzed how immigrants affect the wages of American workers, particularly workers in low-skilled occupations. Does the presence of increasing numbers of immigrant workers drive down the wages of low-skilled American workers? This paper examines whether recent data support the hypothesis that increases in immigrant labor has a negative effect on the wages of low-skilled Americans. Demographic and economic data were obtained from the 2000-2007 American Community Surveys, compiled and sampled through the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. This paper creates a model that estimates the wage impact of national changes in the percentage of immigrants working in selected low-skilled occupations. Estimates suggest that, when holding year and region effects constant, changes in the percentage of immigrant workers do not have a statistically significant impact on the wages of low-skilled American workers.
