On the Cost of Being a Mexican American Worker

Poston, Dudley L.; Alvirez, David

Social Science Quarterly, 53, 4, 697-709, Mar 73

Comparing the incomes of Anglos with those of Mexican Americans among full-time male workers in the southwestern United States in 1960 reveals that more than half the difference related to occupational and educational differences, but a substantial residual remains which is interpreted as resulting from minority status.
