This paper examines occupational allocation of Turkish and ex-Yugoslav male immigrants in Austria at the end of 1990s. Data from Austrian labour force surveys are utilized to separate the effects of immigrants' individual characteristics from contextual factors related to their spatial location, with particular focus on relative group size. Results largely support the occupational queuing hypothesis, according to which occupational standing of Turks is inversely related to the relative size of the ex-Yugoslav immigrant population, while the occupational fortunes of ex-Yugoslavs are directly proportional to the relative size of the Turkish immigrant population. In addition, it is shown that the occupational standing of Turkish immigrants is positively related to their proportionate size in the labour market, while the opposite is true for ex-Yugoslav immigrants. The native-born Austrian male population seems to have a higher occupational status in areas where the concentration of immigrants is greater.
