本文使用1970年、1980年和1990年美国人口普查的公共使用样本来记录20世纪80年代移民收入发生了什么变化，并确定1980年前的移民流动是否达到了与当地人的收入平等。连续移民群体的相对入职工资在20世纪70年代下降了9%，在80年代又下降了6%。尽管移民的相对工资在移民后的头20年里增长了10%，但新移民在其大部分工作生涯中的收入将比当地人低15%-20%。
This article uses the 1970, 1980, and 1990 Public Use Samples of the U.S. census to document what happened to immigrant earnings in the 1980s and to determine if pre-1980 immigrant flows reached earnings parity with natives. The relative entry wage of successive immigrant cohorts declined by 9% in the 1970s and by an additional 6% in the 1980s. Although the relative wage of immigrants grows by 10% during the first 2 decades after arrival, recent immigrants will earn 15%-20% less than natives throughout much of their working lives.
