Abstract: "The dynamics of the ethnical structurization of labour markets is an important research issue in the US since the early 1970s. The concepts developed in these debates especially that of enclave economies cannot be easily transferred into the European or German context. The reasons are major differences in the national production regimes as well as in migration systems and history. This paper sketches a framework for research that views economic activities of ethnic groups as integral parts of the overall economy and its dynamics.

What models and theoretical jumping-off points have characterized the topic of 'Ethnicity and Labor Markets' in the American literature and to what degree was (and is) ethnicity seen as a formative characteristic of American labor markets? This paper briefly discusses American migration policy, and then moves to a retrospectiv
