The Impact of Immigration on Indicators of the Well-Being of the Black Population in the United States.
This paper investigates using multiple datasets (e.g., the CPS and NSAL) whether the increasing presence of foreign born blacks and their native-born children are obscuring summary estimates of the progress made by third generation and higher African Americans. Three measures of "black" were created...

Three measures of "black" were created, (1) a third generation and higher blacks, excluding foreign born blacks, (2) a foreign born black community including first and second generation blacks, and (3) a black-alone group, which included foreign born blacks and third generation and higher blacks. Four estimates of progress were analyzed including percent of high school and college completion, labor force participation rates, the percentage of children living with single mothers, and selfreported arrest rates. It was hypothesized that a summary measure that collapses all blacks into one category--the black-alone group--will not accurately assess the well-being of American blacks, the community of foreign born blacks, and third generation and higher blacks. The analyses generatedfourfindings: First, there are significant gender differences between the foreign bom community and third generation and higher blacks. Second, the results revealed that there are substantial differences between the black foreign born community and third generation and higher blacks and that these differences generalize across years and gender. Third, the data indicate that the emergence of the foreign born black community impacts summary indicators of the progress fo r all African Americans. Fourth, the differences between foreign born blacks and third generation and higher blacks are increasing. It was concluded that summary estimates based on the black alone category overestimate the progress of third generation and higher blacks and underestimate the advances made by the foreign born community. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Western Journal of Black Studies is the property of Washington State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
