title: Adaptation of migrants in the New Zealand labor market.
abstract: "This article addresses economic aspects of New Zealand immigration during the 1980s.  General features are overall net emigration coinciding with high levels of immigration from Asia and Pacific Island countries.  Earnings by years in New Zealand profiles for immigrants with selected occupations are steeper for Pacific Island-born males than for other immigrant groups.  Although there are few data, there is some evidence that profiles differ between cohorts."
