title: The labor supply of male Hispanic immigrants in the United States.
abstract: "Several recent studies have begun the systematic analysis of the labor market characteristics of Hispanics in the United States.  This research has focused on two related issues:  a) how the immigration and assimilation experience affects Hispanic earnings; and b) the measurement of wage differentials between Hispanics and non-Hispanics.  The main findings of this research are that the earnings of (some) Hispanic immigrants rise rapidly after immigration; and that the wage differential between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites is generally due to differences in observable skill characteristics.  This article extends previous research by focusing on another labor market characteristic:  the labor supply of Hispanic immigrants."
