This project examines the geography of residence and workplace for immigrants in the Los Angeles region to see how residential location and spatial accessibility affect the concentration of immigrants in particular lines of work. Data limitations have previously restricted empirical analyses of such effects. The Census Bureau has recently released a special version of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing that includes information on employment, place of residence by census tract, and place of work by census tract. The project will use these data to address a series of basic questions that include: Where, by census tract, in Los Angeles do immigrants work? How is place of work related to an immigrant group's geography of residence? Where are a group's niche jobs (notable industrial and occupational employment concentrations) in relation to its non-niche jobs? And how far away are these niches from residential concentrations? The project employs two different methods to answer these questions. First, we plan to plot immigrant workers by census tracts of employment and residence by sex and immigrant group for the Los Angeles CMSA. These maps are input to a series of map-based statistics summarizing the relations between immigrant employment specialization and their geographies of work and residence by tract. Second, we estimate a nested logit model of the probability of working in an immigrant niche and choice of residential location for the most recent immigrant arrivals to Los Angeles - those who came between 1985 and 1990. In general, the aim of this research is to uncover the interrelationship between the residential clustering of immigrants and their concentration in particular types of work. Scholars have speculated about the connections between these two types of segregation - residential and industrial - but have rarely investigated its specific form. These connections are likely bound-up with workplace segregation - the concentration of specific types of jobs in particular places, usually described as the spatial division of labor. This project explores linkages between these three forms of segregation - residential, industrial, and workplace - in order to better understand how the jobs immigrants hold depend on the location of their ethnic neighborhoods in relation to the spatial distribution of industries. In so doing, the project will help shed light on the role ethnic residential segregation plays in ethnic employment inequality.

该项目研究了洛杉矶地区移民的居住地理和工作场所的地理，以了解住宅位置和空间可及性如何影响移民在特定工作方面的集中。 数据限制以前已限制了此类影响的经验分析。 人口普查局最近发布了1990年人口和住房人口普查的特殊版本，其中包括有关就业的信息，人口普查区的居住地以及人口普查区的工作地点。 该项目将使用这些数据来解决一系列基本问题，其中包括：在洛杉矶的人口普查区，移民在哪里工作？ 工作地点与移民集团的居住地理相关？ 一个团体的利基工作（著名的工业和职业就业集中）在哪里与非小属工作有关？这些小众面菌距离住宅浓度有多远？ 该项目采用两种不同的方法来回答这些问题。 首先，我们计划为洛杉矶CMSA的性与移民集团通过人口普查和居住的人口普查绘制移民工人。 这些地图是对一系列基于地图的统计数据的输入，总结了移民就业专业化与其工作地理和居住地之间的关系。 其次，我们估计了一个嵌套的logit模型，即在移民的细分市场中工作的可能性，以及最新移民到达洛杉矶的住宅位置的选择 - 那些在1985年至1990年之间来的人。总的来说，这项研究的目的是揭示移民和集中精力的住宅集群之间的相互关系。 学者们猜测这两种类型的种族隔离 - 住宅和工业 - 但很少研究其特定形式。 这些连接可能与工作场所隔离 - 特定地点的特定工作类型的集中度，通常被描述为劳动的空间划分。 该项目探讨了这三种形式的种族隔离 - 住宅，工业和工作场所之间的联系，以便更好地了解移民的工作方式取决于其种族社区与工业空间分布相关的位置。这样一来，该项目将有助于阐明种族住宅隔离在种族就业不平等中的作用。
