Ted Mouw, CPC Fellow and Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, received funding from the National Science Foundation to begin work on the study “Immigration and the Dynamics of Labor Market Adjustment.”

Mouw’s study will examine how the United States labor market adjusts to an influx of immigrants. Data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program will be used to model the process of labor market adjustment by tracking individual workers over time. This will inform the debate on the effects of immigration on the labor market.

The study is funded through August 2010.
