Katrina evacuees lower native worker wages
Hot Research Friday.
Molly Fifer McIntosh article 'Measuring the Labor Market Impacts of Hurricane Katrina Migration", finds that Hurricane Katrina migration depressed wages of native Houstonians 1.8%. Her work also found that the evacuees lower the probability of a Houston native being employed by 0.5 percentage.
In short, there are significant albeit modest, labor market effects associated with the Hurricane Katrina evacuees migration to Houston.
