Abstract
Women in the workforce may be impacted by an increase in the influx of immigrants. This paper examines whether the migration of East Asian women affects the female labor supply of US women. Using the Current Population Survey (CPS) data from 1990-2018, this paper explores the geographic variations of labor supply shocks induced by East Asian women and studies the impacts on various labor market outcomes of native women across the United States. The paper finds that the highly skilled East Asian women are underemployed in low ranked occupations. The panel regression with state and year fixed results find that the data continues to reflect signs of the substitution effect between native workers and East Asian women in high skilled occupations.
