Abstract: The difficulty within people with backgrounds of immigration to attain employment in the U.S. have oftentimes been shown to differ from that of U.S. citizens. Using data collected within the first and fifth wave of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), whether U.S. citizenship status is associated with employment status was assessed. Race was additionally assessed in whether it is an additional variable associated with employment status. Although no significant associations arose from this study, there are implications that with a larger sample size, a more accurate result may be assessed in the future for racial minority (non-White) groups. The findings in this research encourage the field of political science academia to further research differences in employment status between non-U.S. citizens and U.S. citizens within each racial minority.
