Abstract: Labor market segmentation by race, ethnicity, and nativity has long been documented in the social science literature. However, relatively few studies have examined a variety of nativeand foreign-born groups under one comparative assessment. I address this research gap by concomitantly examining eight native- and foreign-born, racial and ethnic groups. I measure their occupational segregation in emerging and established immigrant gateways of the United States and their job attributes net of worker characteristics. Thus, this dissertation combines research about occupational segregation, job quality, and immigration for a multi-angle assessment of labor market outcomes in light of labor market segmentation and queue theories. I focus on the racial and ethnic composition of the labor market, the occupational segregation of native- and foreign-born groups in prominent immigrant destinations across the country, and the job attributes associated with each group net of theoretically-relevant worker characteristics.
