Economic progress and international mobility of human resources: Chinese immigrants in the United States labor market

The results indicate great differences among Chinese immigrants from the three areas in age, wage rates, years of schooling and industrial and occupational distributions. Immigrants from China tend to be older and less educated (less skilled) than immigrants from Hong Kong and Taiwan. In addition, the thesis finds that the three Chinese immigrant groups experienced substantial assimilation into the U.S. labor market during the 1980s.
