Note: The sample consists of 21-65 year olds in the 2000 census <strong>and</strong> the 2001-2011 ACS. <strong>Immigrants</strong> are restricted to have been in<br />

the US more than 10 years. Earnings premia are compared to natives of the same race. All regressions control for education, potential<br />

experience, time spent in the US, state <strong>and</strong> year fixed effects.<br />
