To See What Is in Front of One's Nose Needs a Constant Struggle
By Mark Krikorian, December 10, 2008
I missed this Monday: The New York Times ran contradictory editorials, one atop the other. The one on immigration was the usual malarkey, "state of fear," "xenophobes," "immigration zealots," "frighteningly prone to abuse," "sensible reforms that allow immigrants to enter legally," blah, blah, blah. But right under it was an editorial decrying the plight of teen workers, "who were being driven from the labor market in record numbers long before the financial meltdown and who now risk being permanently marginalized both socially and economically." The news peg was a report by Andrew Sum, a labor economist at Northeastern University — the same Andrew Sum who co-authored a paper for CIS finding that "that the arrival of new immigrants (legal and illegal) in a state results in a decline in employment among young native-born workers in that state." Among the specific findings:
* Between 2000 and 2005, the number of young (16 to 34) native-born men who were employed declined by 1.7 million; at the same time, the number of new male immigrant workers increased by 1.9 million.
* Multivariate statistical analyses show that the probability of teens and young adults (20-24) being employed was negatively affected by the number of new immigrant workers (legal and illegal) in their state.
* The negative impacts tended to be larger for younger workers, for in-school youth compared to out-of-school youth, and for native-born black and Hispanic males compared to their white counterparts.
* It appears that employers are substituting new immigrant workers for young native-born workers. The estimated sizes of these displacement effects were frequently quite large.
