My Research:
The literature on globalization has focused on the movement
of capital and commodities and the flow of jobs overseas.
The other dimension of globalization is the movement of labor to
the United States. Immigrant labor are found in many
industries. One of the industries with the most immigrants
is construction. My research analyzes why construction is
amenable to the use of immigrant workers and what the effect of
employing increasing numbers of immigrant construction workers
has on 1) native born workers, 2) the industry itself and 3) the
immigrant workers themselves.
For my masters degree, I did research in international
finance and my focus in my bachelors work was in marketing. |
