Abstract

This study examines the gender pay gap among immigrant workers, focusing on how wage disparities between immigrant and native-born women vary across different home regions. Using data from the 2010 National Survey of College Graduates, this research applies an OLS regression model to analyze the extent to which education, industry, and work experience influence earnings disparities. The study further explores whether the wage gap narrows or widens based on immigrant birth regions. The findings indicate that immigrant women face larger wage penalties compared to their native-born counterparts, with significant variations depending on their region of origin. Women from South and Central America and Oceania tend to experience greater wage gaps, whereas those from the Caribbean and Asia often achieve higher relative earnings. These results highlight the intersection of gender, immigration status, and labor market structures in shaping intersectional wage disparities. The findings contribute to the broader discourse and labor market discrimination.
