Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines employment, earnings, and income of the six major foreign and native born Asian groups, namely, Asian Indians, Chinese, Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, and the Vietnamese in the United States for the year 2000. This research makes three contributions. First, it provides an updated analysis of employment and earning attainments of Asian individuals disaggregated by countries of origin, gender, and nativity status using the latest available and most suitable data. Second, it explores the use of a non-parametric technique, namely reweighting, to assess the earning gaps between Asians and whites. Third, it analyzes intergroup variations in household income, inclination to pool resources, and factors associated with the likelihood of forming nuclear living arrangements. The overall findings from this research suggest that - at both the individual and household levels, the differences between the foreign born and the native born Asian groups are more significant than the intergroup variations among Asians.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the marked increase in the number of Asians emigrating to the United States in the early 1990s to identify 1) the role of their hard work played in their migration to America and 2) what the labor market realities were once they arrived. Investigating the labor supply (labor force participation and hours worked) and occupational structures of Asian immigrants in the U.S. labor market, this study argues that not only are diligent people more likely to emigrate to the U.S., but their work habits remain steady. An empirical analysis, using the most recent data set 1990 Census, examines the impact of various socioeconomic variables on labor force participation and hours worked for male and married female Asian immigrants. The tied-mover issue is also addressed for married couples. Why is immigrants' occupational structure different from that of natives? This study answers this question both theoretically and empirically by proposing that employers' discrimination against immigrants andthe source of job market information determine the immigrants' occupational structure. Since different occupations embody varying degrees of social and economic prestige, it is not surprising that an immigrant's occupation directly effects his social network. This is important because one's social network affects opportunities for success. (Ph.D. dissertation, Johns Hopkins University, 1997; revised with new preface, bibliography, and index)

This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiencing both the enormous benefits and the serious detriments of globalization and economic restructuring, Southern California serves as a magnet for immigrants from many parts of the world. This volume advances an emerging body of work that centers this region's future on the links between the two fastest-growing racial groups in California, Asians and Latinos, and the economic and social mainstream of this important sector of the global economy. The contributors to the anthology—scholars and community leaders with social science, urban planning, and legal backgrounds—provide a multi-faceted analysis of gender, class, and race relations. They also examine various forms of immigrant economic participation, from low-wage workers to entrepreneurs and capital investors. Asian and Latino Immigrants in a Restructuring Economy documents the entrenchment of various immigrant communities in the socio-political and economic fabric of United States society and these communities' role in transforming the Los Angeles region.

Download or read book Organizing Asian American Labor written by Chris Friday and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1870 and 1942, successive generations of Asians and Asian Americans—predominantly Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino—formed the predominant body of workers in the Pacific Coast canned-salmon industry. This study traces the shifts in the ethnic and gender composition of the cannery labor market from its origins through it decline and examines the workers' creation of work cultures and social communities. Resisting the label of cheap laborer, these Asian American workers established formal and informal codes of workplace behavior, negotiated with contractors and recruiters, and formed alliances to organize the workforce. Whether he is discussing Japanese women workers' sharing of child-care responsibilities or the role of Filipino workers in establishing the Cannery and Field Workers Union, Chris Friday portrays Asian and Asian American workers as people who, while enduring oppressive restrictions, continually attempted to shape their own lives. In the series Asian American History and Culture, edited by Sucheng Chan, David Palumbo-Liu, Michael Omi, K. Scott Wong, and Linda Trinh Võ.

Download or read book Labor Force Characteristics written by Zachary Cobbs and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour market differences among the race and ethnicity groups are associated with many factors, not all of which are measurable. These factors include variations across the groups in educational attainment; the occupations and industries in which the groups work; the geographic areas of the country in which the groups are concentrated, including whether they tend to reside in urban or rural settings; and the degree of discrimination encountered in the workplace. This book describes the labor force characteristics and earnings patterns among the largest race and ethnicity groups living in the United States -- Whites, Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics -- and provides detailed data through a set of supporting tables. The book also includes a limited amount of data for American Indians and Alaska Natives and for Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, people who are of Two or More Races, detailed Hispanic ethnicity and, for the first time, detailed Asian groups. This book also discusses minimum wage worker characteristics from 2013.
