Thesis (Ph.D.)--Howard University, 2010.

This research examined the effects of nationality and other factors influencing the employment of Haitian women in the U.S. labor force. Effects of human and social capital, as well as household and structural characteristics were explored. In an effort to better understand Haitian women's (N=3908, 16.9%) economic integration in the labor market, their total personal income, hours worked and wage income were compared with three other groups of immigrant women from Jamaica (N=5057, 21.8%) Cuba (N=8696, 37.4%) and the Dominican Republic (N=5540, 23.9%). Although these immigrant women came from the same region, this research argued that linguistic advantages set them apart.

520 $a This research examined the effects of nationality and other factors influencing the employment of Haitian women in the U.S. labor force. Effects of human and social capital, as well as household and structural characteristics were explored. In an effort to better understand Haitian women's (N=3908, 16.9%) economic integration in the labor market, their total personal income, hours worked and wage income were compared with three other groups of immigrant women from Jamaica (N=5057, 21.8%) Cuba (N=8696, 37.4%) and the Dominican Republic (N=5540, 23.9%). Although these immigrant women came from the same region, this research argued that linguistic advantages set them apart.
520 $a The quantitative data for this study used the American Community Survey (ACS, 2007) as a secondary data. ACS is a statistical program that has been developed to replace the long form of the decennial census in 2010. The data are nationally representative as they represent all 50 states including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and all metropolitan areas.
520 $a Findings indicated that the mean differences of Haitian women when compared to Cubans (-3.493), Dominicans (-1.248) and Jamaicans (-.544) were negative. This implied that the other women groups had better employment status than Haitian women. Moreover, since the difference is highest with the Cubans, it can also be drawn that Cubans have the best employment status among the groups.
