“…Besides that, the yearly immigrant 23 This gives an approximate number for these two years, but it is not perfect since it assumes a uniform rate of immigration during the five year period. Setting the immigrant inflow rate to missing in these two years does not significantly change the results.…”

“…Previous studies have found that change in the size of the employed population correlates positively with immigrant settlement and retention (Gurak and Kritz 2000;Kritz and Gurak 2001) and destination choice (Kritz and Gurak 2015), but that pattern did not hold for pioneers. That relationship was only positive and significant for two groups (Salvadorans and Vietnamese) and was negative and significant for six others (Chinese, Colombians, Dominicans, Indians, Koreans, and Mexicans).…”

BACKGROUNDResearch on immigrant dispersion to new U.S. destinations has not addressed the question of how place and individual characteristics influence pioneer settlement. While origin-group social networks influence immigrants' settlement choices upon U.S. arrival and secondary destination decisions within the USA, other factors must be important when immigrants move to places where they have no compatriots. OBJECTIVEBy examining national origin differences in pioneer migration for ten Asian and Latin American national origin groups, our goal was to determine whether and how they differed in their pioneer settlement responses to economic, demographic, social, and pan-ethnic labor markets conditions. METHODSWe used 1990 and 2000 confidential decennial census data because they have sufficient sample cases and geographic detail to study national origin differences. We estimated two types of model for each origin group: a zero-inflated Poisson model that identifies the place characteristics associated with higher pioneer settlement counts in the 1990s and a logistic regression model that identifies the individual characteristics of immigrants who settled pioneer places. RESULTSThe major context correlates of pioneer settlement were 1990 population size, the panethnic presence of foreign-born from each group's origin region (Asia or Latin America), and the lack of a significant agricultural presence in the labor force. The logistic models indicated that pioneers were likely to be internal migrants rather than recent immigrants, fluent English speakers, and residents of relatively dispersed places prior to moving to pioneer labor markets. CONCLUSIONSThe analyses showed the importance of secondary migration and prior dispersion from gateways for pioneer settlement. They also revealed considerable national origin heterogeneity in pioneer settlement dynamics and indicated that national origin differences merit further attention.

“…For example, White and Imai (1994) report a slight decline in native inbound migration (compared with normalized patterns) to areas with high immigrant concentration. On the other hand, Kritz and Gurak (2001) report measurable evidence of nonHispanic white men leaving states with large immigrant infl ows in the 1980s. Some other earlier studies reporting a weak link between immigration and internal migration are collected in Borjas (1992).…”
