Immigrant Integration in the United States During the Age of Mass Migration

Abstract
This paper focuses on particular immigrant groups, examining the
integration extent between the US-born whites and first- and second
generation immigrants during the Age of Mass Migration. From
empirical evidence in this paper, I find that immigrants suffered an
income penalty in the labor market, and second generation were more
integrated into the US labor market. Immigrants with greater cultural
distance suffered more penalties. This paper explores the difference in
immigration behaviors and their outcomes in the US from a historical
perspective, encouraging to look back when thinking about
immigration trends today.
