El Paso: Immigration, social networks, and the secondary labor market among emigrants from Mexico to Missouri.
- 94 p.
Adviser: Ilu Musa.
Thesis (M.A.)--Central Missouri State University, 2006.
This thesis analyzes social networks, immigrant experiences, demographic characteristics, and work histories of eight P'urepecha-Mexican immigrants and five Mexican immigrants originating from the western state of Michoacan and currently living in El Paso, Missouri. Based on the social capital, this thesis addresses the positive and negative aspects of social networks among Mexican immigrants, particularly in relation to the labor market. Data from this study comes primarily from a questionnaire applied to participants in a semistructured interview design. The questionnaire consisted of three parts. In the first section, the questionnaire examines participants' demographic characteristics. In the second section, participants' work histories were collected. The last section of the questionnaire addresses issues of living conditions and participants' expectations of returning to Mexico. Findings from this thesis indicate that social networks among Mexican immigrant workers are relevant to deciding to migrate to the United States and also to finding a job in El Paso. However, social networks are also found to have a negative impact on immigrants' living conditions and social mobility due to their concentration in occupations from the secondary sector of the labor market.
