The generalized two-stage estimation method is employed to estimate occupational attachment equations and to correct for the potential existence of selectivity bias in occupational wage equations. A variable representing the foreignworker intensity in each two-digit industry is included in the equations to showhowimportation of foreign workers affects the occupational choice and wage structure of local workers. The results for these equations are as anticipated and can be summarized as follows. First, the foreign worker intensity tends to be positively associated with the probability that local workers are in unemployment. Second, intensity of foreign workers in each industry reduces the probability that local workers attach themselves to an operative, laboring, or craft job, while increasing the chance of their attaining a professional, technician, associate professional, clerical, service, or sales job. Third, importation of foreign workers has little adverse effects on the wage rates that local workers receive. |
