Wage inequality between Latin American and native immigrants in the United States (1980-2010)

Abstract

This article examines wage disparities among U.S. workers between 1980 and 2010. The author analyzes wage differences by sex, place of origin, and type of job. In general, wage differences between men and women and the native-born and immigrants persist over time and increase in both cases. There is a greater concentration of earnings among men than among women. Wage inequality increased in 2010 with the economic crisis, above all in certain groups: non-Hispanic white native-born workers concentrate more income, whereas inequality is less among jobs requiring higher qualifications.
