背景 很少有研究考察美国移民工作年龄人口的残疾状况和就业决定。方法 对 2007 年美国社区调查数据进行分析，比较移民和美国出生的 18-64 岁成年人的残疾和就业特征。在残疾人和非残疾人中建立了单独的就业逻辑回归模型。每个多元模型都包括出生/公民身份、性别、种族/民族、年龄和教育程度。结果 2007 年，40.8%（95% CI：39.9–41.7）的残疾移民就业，而美国出生的残疾人只有 34.9%（95% CI：34.6–35.2）就业。对于每种类型的残疾，包括工作困难，残疾移民比美国出生的残疾人更有可能就业。外国出生和美国出生的残疾人的工资/薪水收入中位数分别为 20,000 和 22,000。相比之下，在外国出生的患有精神障碍、自理能力有限或参与限制的人的工资/薪水收入中位数超过了在美国出生的患有这些相同残疾的人。出生地和公民身份在残疾人和非残疾人的不同就业逻辑模式中具有不同的影响。在残疾人中，外国出生的公民比美国出生的公民更有可能就业，OR= 1.40（95% CI：1.33-1.48），非公民也比美国出生的人更有可能就业，OR= 1.74（95% CI：1.62-1.87）。在非残疾人中，外国出生的非公民就业的可能性低于美国出生的非公民，OR= 0.82（95% CI：0.82-0.85）。结论 对于所有类型的残疾，残疾移民比美国出生的残疾人更频繁地就业。是。 J.工业医学。 53: 425–434, 2010。© 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Background There is little research which examines disability status and the employment decisions of the US immigrant working‐age population. Methods The 2007 American Community Survey data were analyzed to compare disabilities and employment characteristics between immigrant and US‐born adults 18–64 years of age. Separate logistic regression models of employment were constructed among persons with disabilities and among persons without disabilities. Each multivariate model included nativity/citizenship, sex, race/ethnicity, age, and education. Results In 2007, 40.8%(95% CI: 39.9–41.7) of immigrants with disabilities were employed, while only 34.9%(95% CI: 34.6–35.2) of US‐born persons with disabilities were employed. For each type of disability, including difficulty working, immigrants with disabilities were more likely than their US‐born counterparts to be employed. The median wage/salary incomes for persons with disabilities, foreign‐born and US‐born, respectively, were 20,000and 22,000. In contrast, the median wage/salary incomes of foreign‐born persons with mental impairments, self‐care limitations, or participation restrictions exceeded those of US‐born persons with these same disabilities. Nativity and citizenship had different effects in separate logistic models of employment for persons with disabilities and persons without disabilities. Among persons with disabilities, foreign‐born citizens were more likely to be employed than the US‐born, OR= 1.40 (95% CI: 1.33–1.48), and non‐citizens were also more likely to be employed, OR= 1.74 (95% CI: 1.62–1.87), than US‐born persons. Among persons without disabilities, foreign‐born non‐citizens were less likely to be employed than the US‐born, OR= 0.82 (95% CI: 0.82–0.85). Conclusion Immigrants with disabilities were more frequently employed than US‐born persons with disabilities for all types of disabilities. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53: 425–434, 2010.© 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
