Do as the Neighbors Do: Examining the Effect of Residential Neighborhoods on Labor Market Outcomes

<Para ID="Par1">This paper examines the effect of where immigrants live on their labor market outcomes. We provide robust evidence that both the number and the labor market activity of immigrants’ neighbors affect their employment. In particular, we demonstrate that immigrants are much more likely to be employed in the same firm as their geographic neighbors than are other immigrants.
