Using data collected in the 1991 Los Angeles (CA) Community Survey, the effects of social relations & social-class composition on Salvadorean & Pilipino (ie, Salvadoran & Filipino) immigrants' employment status & earnings are explored. Interviews with 574 Salvadorean & Pilipino workers measured employment status, earnings, social relations, individual skills, & demographic information. Findings indicate that strong social relations significantly affect employment status & earnings in both ethnic groups. Whereas male workers received higher wages when working with relatives, female workers with high earnings were more likely to not have coresident relatives. Moreover, the analysis demonstrates limited support for the contention that social relations have more effect in working-class Salvadorean families than in Pilipino families. 4 Tables, 33 References.
