This dissertation investigates the causes and earnings outcomes of employment in ethnic niches among the Latino population in Boston and Los Angeles. Data from the Multi-City Study of Urban Inequality will be used because this survey identifies the ethnic backgrounds of the respondents' coworkers and supervisor. In addition to the usual human capital variables as determinants of employment and earnings (e.g., education, English fluency), the study will focus on nativity, skin color, national origin, and gender. The research will also investigate the role of job search strategies that use informal networks of family and friends as an explanation for how Latinos and especially Latinas end up employed in ethnic niches.

本论文研究了波士顿和洛杉矶拉丁裔人口中少数族裔就业的原因和收入结果。 将使用来自城市不平等多城市研究的数据，因为该调查确定了受访者同事和主管的种族背景。 除了通常的人力资本变量作为就业和收入的决定因素（例如教育、英语流利程度）外，该研究还将关注出生地、肤色、国籍和性别。 该研究还将调查求职策略的作用，该策略利用家人和朋友的非正式网络来解释拉丁裔，尤其是拉丁裔最终如何在少数族裔中就业。
