And recent studies of wage data of college graduates in Virginia, Tennessee and a few other states show that the wage returns of technical two-year degrees are greater than many bachelor's degrees in the first year after college.
The analysis here examined the effects of matching on the wage returns to foreign experience and education.
Specifically, they argue that young people with an internal locus of control believe that education increases the probability of earning a high wage by more – i.e., believe the wage returns to education are higher – than do similar young people with an external locus of control.
The fact that all the main parties are now showing interest in doing this is very encouraging - but there is a long way to go before the minimum wage returns to its earlier levels".
In the end, the wage must return to its pre-immigration equilibrium.
Earlier studies found that foreign education provides a significant wage return with a slight discount in Canada (Aydemir and Skuterud 2005), as we noted earlier.
This model, which nests the standard Mincerian wage regression (α r =α o =−α u ), allows for the estimation of separate wage returns to the (i) required years of schooling, (ii) years of overeducation, and (iii) years of undereducation.
When addressing measurement error in the skill variable, estimated wage returns in the pooled sample increase by approximately 10%, while they more than double in size in specifications dealing with reverse causality.
Using longitudinal data for Canada, we analyze the incidence and wage returns to employer supported course enrollment for men and women.
We aim to calculate the distribution of the wages that return migrants would have obtained had they never migrated.
Additionally, we observe that the wages of return migrants are larger than those that the migrants would have obtained had they not migrated.
