Abstract: This study uses the 1999 National Study of Post-Secondary Faculty (NSOPF) published by the National Center for Education Statistics to empirically determine if U.S.--and foreign-born Hispanic faculty team earn a premium or penalty in the academic labor market. When controlling a host of factors related to academic salaries, our findings indicate that U.S.-born Hispanic faculty earn significantly more on average than their non-Hispanic white counterparts, but foreign-born Hispanics earn the same as non-Hispanics. Nevertheless, additional analyses indicate that the earnings premium accrued by U.S.-born Hispanic tends to prevail in the tails of the academic hierarchy: in the full professor ranks and in non-tenure-track positions, the latter containing a disproportionate share of Hispanic faculty.
