173 p., Examines the effects of nationality and other factors influencing the employment of Haitian women in the U.S. labor force. Effects of human and social capital, as well as household and structural characteristics were explored. In an effort to better understand Haitian women's (N=3908, 16.9%) economic integration in the labor market, their total personal income, hours worked and wage income were compared with three other groups of immigrant women from Jamaica (N=5057, 21.8%) Cuba (N=8696, 37.4%) and the Dominican Republic (N=5540, 23.9%). Although these immigrant women came from the same region, this research argued that linguistic advantages set them apart.
