This book presents a comprehensive economic analysis of the rapidly
growing Hispanic labour force in the U.S. The author evaluates the
leading economic theories on immigration and on racial and ethnic
inequality in incomes and employment. He then tests these theories
empirically with a variety of recent national data sets. Many of
the findings throw into question widely held views among the
public, academics, and policymakers. The author surveys the
evolution of each of the main national-origin subgroups: Mexicans,
Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Central and South Americans, and other
Hispanic Labour forces in the U.S. He finds that the Hispanic
disadvantage in income, poverty, and unemployment has remained
chronically large and has actually been increasing in recent years.
He finds that Hispanics are unusually vulnerable to recessionary
downturns in the national economy. His study of the impact of
undocumented Hispanic immigration into the U.S. contradicts claims
that immigration, either legal or illegal, increases the
unemployment or lowers the earnings of American workers.
