Note:a parameters are backed out by comparing labor force participation parameters for natives <strong>and</strong> immigrants by different ages of immigration. The locally weighted<br />
regression line is based on a 0.8 b<strong>and</strong>width. The underlying regressions control for education, potential experience, time spent in the US, state <strong>and</strong> year fixed effects. The<br />
underlying sample consists of 21-65 year olds in the 2000 census <strong>and</strong> the 2001-2011 ACS. <strong>Immigrants</strong> are restricted to citizens who have been in the US more than 10 years.<br />
Outliers are excluded for graphing purposes. They are included in the regression sample of Table 11 as well as in Figure A.10.<br />
