It is likely, however, that the proportion of immigrants for whom specialized training and anti-bias regulation enforcement can hasten the traditional catch-up process which has historically characterized the immigrant economic experience will continually increase. Additional research using more recent data will allow both the efficacy of the recommendations advanced and the persistence of the observed patterns to be tested.
