A sizable proportion of United States Hispanics live in segregated communities. The rising Hispanic population in the United States and the negative association of enclave-residence with earnings have given rise to the concern that a large part of the current and future labor force, native and immigrant Hispanics, may struggle to improve social mobility and integration into the mainstream United States population. However, the causal effect of enclave-residence on earnings of Hispanics in the United States remains an open question given that previous studies have not addressed the non-random distribution of individuals into and out of enclaves. Using a longitudinal data set I address the non-random location decision of individuals to identify a causal link between enclave-residence and earnings of Hispanics. I find a much larger negative impact of enclave-residence on earnings than previous studies. However, the results also show that enclave-residence is associated with longer durations of employment. Second generation immigrant Hispanics appear to be immune from the wage penalty that is associated with enclaves.

Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1998), this paper analyzes the allocation of supervisory positions and earnings of men and women in professional jobs. The results show that women are less likely than men to hold supervisory positions even after controlling for detailed worker and job characteristics. Professional women earn marginally higher wages associated with supervisory duties, and significant gender wage gap exists among all supervisors. However, among supervisors who hold authority positions, women earn substantially higher wages and the gender wage gap is significantly reduced. Human capital variables explain very little of the gender wage differential among supervisors. Additionally, employment in large firms enhances the earnings of male supervisors but has no impact on women's career and earnings.
