SUMMARY:Patrick Szurkowski\, University of Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION: \n\nPatrick will present his paper IMMIGRATION\, JOB SORTING\,
  AND HEALTH:\nEVIDENCE FROM 1920S US IMMIGRATION POLICY.\n\nABSTRACT\n\nTh
 is project examines how an exogenous decline in immigration flows\ninduces
  sorting across the distribution of health conditions in the\nlocal labor 
 market adjustment process and documents significant\nchanges in the commun
 ity health indicators. In the 1920s\, a set of\nimmigration laws in the Un
 ited States imposed quotas based on national\norigin and restricted immigr
 ant flows. These policies cut immigration\nflows from constrained countrie
 s to around 150\,000 individuals a year.\nThe effects of this policy chang
 e are identified in a\ndifference-in-difference framework utilizing the LI
 FEM\, historical\nlabor survey\, and full count census data. Results indic
 ate that\nindividuals in areas facing larger declines in immigration are\n
 observed transitioning into occupations and industries with worse\nassocia
 ted health measures. Increasing native-born employment in high\nhealth cos
 t (HHC) positions offset lost immigrant labor leading to no\nchange in HHC
  employment share. Further\, policy exposure was\nassociated with declinin
 g average lifespan and increasing mortality\nrates among counties’ worki
 ng age US-born population.\n
