Abstract: This study aims to examine racial effects for Asian Americans and understand how, if at all, the racial effects of "being an Asian" shape Asian Americans' labor market achievements. For this purpose, I will examine the occupational distributions of Chinese Americans and Japanese American and non-Hispanic Whites in a comparative perspective and the racial effects on earnings returns at specific occupational levels. The findings of this analysis will help us understand what kinds of fields give better returns to Asian Americans, and thereby, how race affects Asian Americans in the U.S. labor market.
