Studies have been undertaken previously to synthesize the conclusions of this empirical research by means of formal meta-analyses of the impact of immigration on the wages of native workers and on the level of employment (Longhi et al., 2005, 2007). While these studies have shown that the […]

Initially using only variables from the employee survey, we find that private sector men and full-time women covered by unions typically receive […]
