Whereas efforts to explain the economic effects of low-skill foreign-born workers have generated ample research, the impact of the highly skilled foreign born, who constitute about a third of the immigrants coming to the United States, has gathered relatively limited scholarly attention. This project contributes to the growing literature on highly skilled migration by addressing the following questions: What effect does the greater presence of highly skilled foreign born have on the earnings of skilled US-born workers? How do immigrants themselves fare in jobs with higher concentration of fellow compatriots? How do the earnings of native and foreign-born women compare to those of their male counterparts in jobs that differ in their nativity and gender composition?

520 $a Whereas efforts to explain the economic effects of low-skill foreign-born workers have generated ample research, the impact of the highly skilled foreign born, who constitute about a third of the immigrants coming to the United States, has gathered relatively limited scholarly attention. This project contributes to the growing literature on highly skilled migration by addressing the following questions: What effect does the greater presence of highly skilled foreign born have on the earnings of skilled US-born workers? How do immigrants themselves fare in jobs with higher concentration of fellow compatriots? How do the earnings of native and foreign-born women compare to those of their male counterparts in jobs that differ in their nativity and gender composition?
520 $a I applied a multi-level methodology to analyze the 2000 US Census data in order to explore these questions. The findings suggest that for the overwhelming majority of native (and earlier immigrant) workers, the higher presence of immigrants in location-specific skilled jobs does not depress earnings. In fact, the relationship between the percent of foreign born in skilled jobs and earnings is positive: as the percent foreign born goes up, so do the earnings. However, the effect is not linear but has an inverse U-shape. For native workers employed in jobs where more than 35 percent are foreign born, the relationship between earnings and immigrant presence is negative.
520 $a The analysis of gender differences in earnings of skilled workers demonstrates that native and immigrant women and men with similar individual characteristics and in similar jobs are paid differently---with differences being more pronounced along gender than nativity lines. Immigrant women make less than their male counterparts, but their earnings are not statistically different from those of US-born women, regardless of the job characteristics. Also, employment in jobs with a greater presence of women has a negative impact on the earnings of all workers in that job. Given the potential of devaluation of female or/and immigrant-dominated jobs, the questions of economic impacts of immigrants have to be considered in the context of deepening labor market segmentation and occupational segregation.
