title: Immigration and ethnic origin:  the effect of demographic attributes on earnings of Israeli men and women.
abstract: "The present article examines the separate effects of ethnicity and immigration on earnings by studying a sample of Israeli workers.  The results indicate that immigrant status constitutes a major handicap in the Israeli labor market.  Ethnicity, on the other hand, plays a minor role in the earnings determination process.  The consequences of these results for labor market policies are discussed."
