Thesis (Ph.D.)--North Carolina State University, 2016.

Hispanic workers are a significant and growing portion of the US labor force. It is therefore essential to understand the pattern of Hispanic immigrants' incorporation into the US labor force and the factors underlying or impeding successful incorporation trajectories. This dissertation investigates how the job quality of Hispanic immigrants compares to that of US born workers in 2003 and in 2010, and evaluates competing explanations of the differences in job quality between these two groups of workers. I also investigate whether differences in job quality are attributable to Hispanic ethnicity or immigrant status by comparing the job quality of Hispanic immigrants with US born Hispanic workers. In pursuing these research goals, I develop multidimensional measures of job quality that encompass a wider range of quality indicators than existing measures.

520 $a Hispanic workers are a significant and growing portion of the US labor force. It is therefore essential to understand the pattern of Hispanic immigrants' incorporation into the US labor force and the factors underlying or impeding successful incorporation trajectories. This dissertation investigates how the job quality of Hispanic immigrants compares to that of US born workers in 2003 and in 2010, and evaluates competing explanations of the differences in job quality between these two groups of workers. I also investigate whether differences in job quality are attributable to Hispanic ethnicity or immigrant status by comparing the job quality of Hispanic immigrants with US born Hispanic workers. In pursuing these research goals, I develop multidimensional measures of job quality that encompass a wider range of quality indicators than existing measures.
520 $a Hispanic immigrants working in the United States typically experience lower job quality, in terms of wages, than US born workers (Bean et al. 2004; Catanzarite 2000; Gouveia et al. 2005; Turner 2014). Scholars offer various explanations for this discrepancy including: economic theories of human capital that look to the characteristics of individual workers to explain differences in job quality (Borjas and Katz 2005), classical assimilation theories emphasizing immigrants' incorporation into the labor market (Kasinitz et al. 2008; Warner and Srole 1945), and segmented assimilation perspectives that highlight the role of racial and ethnic discrimination in labor market outcomes (Bean et al. 2012; Portes and Zhou 1993; Waters 2001). In my analysis of these competing theories, I examine the role of individual factors such as race and gender, occupational factors such as the racial and gender composition of occupations, and structural factors related to the economic and political environments of US states.
520 $a In addition, this dissertation seeks to expand our understanding of Hispanic immigrants' job quality by incorporating a sociological perspective on what makes a job good. This perspective identifies traits of good and bad jobs that go beyond the wages and benefits traditionally used as outcome measures within immigrant incorporation research. In addition to wages and benefits, my analysis incorporates noneconomic indicators of job quality including the level of autonomy and control over the conditions and terms of employment, and the risk of injury or death.
520 $a I undertake the analysis of Hispanic immigrants' job quality using individual level data from the March supplements of the Current Population Survey from 2003 and from 2010. Occupational and state/level data are taken from a variety of publicly available government sources including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. I employ bivariate and multivariate statistical analyses, including ANOVA, ordinary least squares regression, and logistic regression, in my evaluation of factors affecting the job quality of Hispanic immigrants.
520 $a Empirical results offer support for elements of each of the competing explanations of Hispanic immigrants' job quality. In addition, they confirm the multidimensional nature of job quality and call into question research which prioritizes wages as the sole indicator of job quality. Evidence from this dissertation argues for viewing labor market inequality, and discrimination against Hispanic immigrant workers in particular, as being driven and reproduced through multiple mechanisms. Individual, occupational, and structural state/level factors each contribute to differences in job quality, and each of these dimensions will need to be addressed by those seeking to eliminate labor market inequalities.
