Gang, Ira N.; Stuart, Robert C.
International Migration Review, v34 n2 p511-37 Sum 2000
Analyzed early economic achievement of Soviet immigrants entering the United States from 1979-85, identifying components of human capital acquired in the former Soviet Union (FSU) and relating them to U.S. labor force participation and income outcomes. FSU education, experience, and industry variables differentially affected participation and income. Outcomes differed by gender. Immigrants' incomes were below American's incomes. (SM)
