abstract: 'This study evaluates how authorization status shapes job transitions
among Mexican and Central American immigrants in the United States.
Specifically, using data from the Survey of Income and Program
Participation, we impute legal status and track employment histories for
authorized and unauthorized workers, as well as native-born
counterparts, in the less skilled labor market. We distinguish job moves
based on changes in occupations and employers; and by linking workers
jobs to expected wages in their occupations, we are able to determine
whether job transitions result in occupational upgrades or downgrades.
Results reveal that unauthorized immigrants have lower adjusted rates of
job mobility, consistent with arguments that their lack of work
authorization traps their employment. Moreover, when unauthorized
migrants do change jobs, their transitions are characterized by a
process of occupational churning in which they cycle between similarly
positioned jobs and have low rates of upward mobility, both within and
across firms. We also test the possibility that the wage returns to job
mobility are conditioned by legal status. Finally, we find that the
penalties to job mobility associated with unauthorized status are more
severe for women than men, potentially because of their high levels of
segregation in socially isolating jobs.'
