Exercise 9

Web exercise: Using data from the U.S. Bureau of the Census available at https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2019/demo/foreign-born/cps-2019.html, compare the distributions of U.S. natives, naturalized U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizen immigrants across occupation groups. What patterns emerge, and from those patterns what do you predict about the likely wage effects of immigration on U.S. natives and naturalized U.S. citizens?
