abstract: 'U.S. immigration policy debates increasingly center on attracting
highly-skilled immigrants. African immigrants, in particular, exhibit
high levels of over-education. But questions remain about whether
African immigrants'' skills are appropriately utilized in the U.S. labour
market. This paper uses U.S. Census and American Community Survey data
to determine whether Africans'' over-education leads to a corresponding
wage disadvantage. I also investigate whether search and match,
imperfect transferability, or queuing theory describes African
immigrants'' wage outcomes. I find that, while African and Asian
immigrants have similarly high rates of college education and
over-education, Africans experience significantly larger wage
disadvantages due to over-education. African immigrants'' low wages are
closer to that of U.S. and Caribbean-born blacks indicating that queuing
theory describes their wage disadvantage. These findings suggest the
need for policy addressing racial disparities in the labour market
rather than new immigration policy.'
