Abstract: The data in this report indicate that theLatino population dispersion across New York Statecan, but does not necessarily, result in good socioeconomicoutcomes. The highest incomes and lowestunemployment rates are found among Latinos inNassau County, while their neighbors in New York Cityfare poorly. Similarly, residence in Albany is associatedwith higher education, a large managerial-professionalwork force, and among the highest incomes for Latinosin the state, although unemployment rates are high andstate agencies generally employ low rates of Latinos. Incontrast, the residents of Western New York are notdoing as well as those living elsewherebut there isalso tremendous variation and some groups, such asCentral and South Americans, seem to have foundgood economic niches in those cities. This report alsoshows that the employment and income benefits ofchanging labor markets do not affect men and womenor immigrants and U.S. born Latinos in the same way.
