Abstract: The purpose of this study is to see if labor parity between Asian women and native born white women has been achieved. To achieve this, a multivariable linear regression model is used to estimate the wage differentials between these two groups. The dependent variable in the analysis is wage and salary income. The independent variables include race, birthplace (nativity), education (level of attainment), family status, occupation, and English proficiency. Age is used as a control variable. The study found native born Asian women earn more than native born white women. Foreign born Filipino and Southeast Asian women earn more than native born white women. Foreign born Japanese and Asian Indian women earn less than native born white women.
