随意观察表明，在大多数美国城市劳动力市场中，移民的移民同事多于本地出生的工人。虽然看起来很明显，但这种过度合作的倾向尚未得到精确测量，也没有对其来源进行量化。使用美国人口普查局纵向雇主-家庭动态 (LEHD) 数据库中针对一组拥有大量移民人口的大都市统计区 (MSA) 的雇主-雇员数据，我们发现，平均而言，移民同事中有 37% 本身就是移民；相比之下，本土出生工人的同事中只有 14% 是移民。我们将这种差异分解为与同胞合作与与其他来源国移民合作的可能性。利用人力资本、雇主和地点特征，我们缩小了可能解释移民集中的机制。我们发现，行业、语言和居住隔离共同解释了几乎所有与其他来源国移民一起工作的过度倾向，但它们解释与同胞一起工作的能力有限。这一大量无法解释的同胞成分表明，未衡量的国家特定因素（例如社交网络）发挥了重要作用。
Casual observation suggests that in most U.S. urban labor markets, immigrants have more immigrant coworkers than native-born workers do. While seeming obvious, this excess tendency to work together has not been precisely measured, nor have its sources been quantified. Using matched employer–employee data from the U.S. Census Bureau Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) database on a set of metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with substantial immigrant populations, we find that, on average, 37% of an immigrant’s coworkers are themselves immigrants; in contrast, only 14% of a native-born worker’s coworkers are immigrants. We decompose this difference into the probability of working with compatriots versus with immigrants from other source countries. Using human capital, employer, and location characteristics, we narrow the mechanisms that might explain immigrant concentration. We find that industry, language, and residential segregation collectively explain almost all the excess tendency to work with immigrants from other source countries, but they have limited power to explain work with compatriots. This large unexplained compatriot component suggests an important role for unmeasured country-specific factors, such as social networks.
