Undocumented Immigration and Unemployment of U.S. Youth and Minority Workers: Econometric Evidence

We use Census-based data on the state distribution of the undocumented-alien population in analyzing the relationship between that population and unemployment among youth and minority workers. Regression results from our two-equation models do not support commonly-expressed fears that undocumented i...

A sizeable reverse effect is evident: undocumented immigrants tend to concentrate in states where labor markets for these marginal groups are most favorable.
