Résumé
"This article studies the dif f erences between the Mexican-born population that resides and works in the U.S. border region and Mexican-born workers that live in Mexico but work in the United States. Immigrants and cross-border workers are compared in terms of their magnitude, socioeconomic characteristics, occupational structure and earnings. From 2000 to 2010, there was a signif i cant increase in the number of immigrants in the U.S. border region and a substantial decline in the quantity of cross-border workers. Furthermore, im - migrants are younger, more educated, more likely to be employed in high paying occupa - tions, and have higher earnings than cross-border workers."
