Abstract

This article compares job quality of second generation immigrants in France and in the United States. Using two different labor surveys (Emploi en Continu Survey and Current Population Survey) between 2008 and 2012, I analyze job quality, which relies on three dimensions: compensation, job security and working hours. The first contribution is that I find immigrants? children have jobs of lower quality compared to the natives in both countries other things being equal, with an important heterogeneity across origins in both countries. Second I shed light on more frequent origin-based inequalities in France than in the United States. Overall the results suggest that French institutions might contribute to better job quality than American ones. However they tend on the one hand to foster inequalities between natives and second generation immigrants and on the other hand to make job access more difficult.
