We examine the relationship between attitudes to foreigners and the share of foreigners at the occupational level. Using a question on equal opportunities for foreigners from the Swiss Household Panel, ordered probit regression models show a negative association between the share of foreigners in one’s occupation and positive attitudes to foreigners: workers seem to react to competition with foreigners. When we add the occupational unemployment rate, objective pressures in the labour market appear as relevant as contact at the occupational level. Further controlling for occupational heterogeneity establishes that both factors—particularly objective pressures—are probably accounted for by sorting on job quality. We also show that the association between the occupational share of foreigners and attitudes decreases for workers with better job prospects. This implies that workers welcome foreigners to overcome labour market shortages. Occupational Exposure to Foreigners and Attitudes towards Equal Opportunities

与外国人的职业接触和对平等机会的态度

我们研究了对外国人的态度与外国人在职业层面的比例之间的关系。使用来自瑞士家庭委员会的关于外国人机会均等的问题,有序概率回归模型显示外国人在一个职业中的份额与对外国人的积极态度之间存在负相关:工人似乎对与外国人的竞争做出反应。当我们加上职业失业率时,劳动力市场中的客观压力似乎与职业层面的接触一样相关。对职业异质性的进一步控制表明,这两个因素——尤其是客观压力——可能是通过对工作质量的排序来解释的。我们还表明,对于具有更好工作前景的工人,外国人的职业份额与态度之间的关联会降低。这意味着工人欢迎外国人来克服劳动力市场短缺。对外国人的职业接触和平等机会的态度
