本文探讨了在瑞典劳动力市场上寻找就业的不同方法的成功概率，在经济增长和衰退的时候。现有的西欧关于雇用过程的研究还没有允许研究人员研究不同移民群体之间的工作联系和工资收入之间的关系。由于我们的数据集足够大，本文研究了两大群体（移民和本地人）中个人的求职策略和劳动力市场结果。通过研究那些已经在他们目前的工作一年或更短的时间，本文调查在何种程度上本地人和移民使用他们的社交网络找工作，以及如何非正式的找工作的方法是相关的回报率在瑞典劳动力市场上的工作，在小时工资。调查结果表明，与本地人相比，移民不太可能通过非正规方法找到工作，通过非正规方法找到的工作对移民的报酬不如对本地人的报酬高。
This paper examines the probability of success for different methods of finding employment in the Swedish labour market, in times of both economic growth and decline. Existing West European studies on hiring processes have not allowed researchers to examine the relationship between job contacts and wage income among various groups of immigrants. Since our dataset is sufficiently large, this article examines job-finding strategies and labour market outcomes for individuals within two large groups, immigrants and natives. By studying those who have been in their current jobs for one year or less, the paper investigates to what extent both natives and immigrants use their social networks to find a job, and how informal job-finding methods are related to the rate of return in the Swedish labour market for the job secured, in terms of hourly wage. The findings show that immigrants, compared to natives, are less likely to be able to find jobs through informal methods and that jobs found through informal methods do not pay as well for immigrants as for natives.
