Abstract : This paper examines the effect that two-year college attendance has had on the labor market outcomes of Hispanic
students relative to non-Hispanic students at different points in the conditional earnings distribution. The results suggest that
within a sample of males drawn from the High School and Beyond survey, Hispanic workers that started at two-year colleges
have a significant earnings premia (relative to whites) at both the bottom and the top of the conditional earnings distribution.
The estimated effect is largest at the tenth percentile, which when combined with the fact that Hispanics tend to both
disproportionately attend two-year colleges and disproportionately fall in the lower end of the conditional earnings distribution
suggests that two-year college attendance might indeed be highly beneficial for Hispanic-Americans. In addition, the earnings
of Hispanics that transferred to or started at four-year colleges are not statistically different from similar whites, providing
further evidence that Hispanics, as well as blacks, that attend two-year colleges are able to cut into the wage differential much
more so than other types of students.
