Do Foreign-Born Workers Cause Native-Born Workers to Move or Leave the Labor Force?

Allan Dizioli and Roberto Pinheiro

Economic Commentary, 2017, issue November

Abstract: This Commentary discusses how the presence of foreign-born workers in a local labor market affects the decisions of native-born workers to leave the labor force or move to another state. We analyze short panels obtained through the Current Population Survey and find that, in the short run, less-educated native-born workers react to a larger stock of foreign-born workers by either moving to a different state or dropping out of the labor force. In terms of magnitude, the effect is small but not insignificant.
