I compare the occupational attainment of male US immigrant and native workers using the task-based approach. Immigrants have on average higher manual and lower analytical and interactive task requirements than natives, and this gap has expanded greatly in the past several decades. The occupational assimilation toward natives in task requirements observed for earlier cohorts has slowed significantly for more recent cohorts. The increased size of both country of origin and linguistic groups as well as declining English language acquisition help to explain the assimilation slowdown. Controlling for task requirements helps to explain the earnings assimilation slowdown.

土著和移民的职业素养：跨队列分析

我使用基于任务的方法比较了美国男性移民和本地工人的职业成就。移民平均比土著人具有更高的手动要求以及更低的分析和互动任务要求，并且在过去的几十年中，这一差距已大大扩大。在较早的队列中观察到的任务要求中对本地人的职业同化已显着降低。起源国和语言族群的增加以及英语习得的减少有助于解释同化的放缓。控制任务需求有助于解释收入同化的放缓。
