Abstract: In high-income nations, immigrants earn substantially less than do people born in those countries, mainly because of a lack of access to high-paying jobs. Addressing this economic disparity will require policy efforts that expand access to better-paying occupations and firms rather than just enforcing policies of equal pay for equal work.
