Note: See notes to Table 2 for the definitions of destinations. Mexico-born samples are restricted to individuals who arrived in the US in 1980 or later. Robust standard errors clustered on PMSA of residence are in parenthesis. + indicates that the coefficients for new high-growth and new low growth destinations are significantly different at a 95% confidence interval. ~indicates that the coefficients for traditional and new destinations (high or low-growth) are significantly different at a 95% confidence interval. *0.05 < p ≤ 0.1, **0.01 < p ≤ 0.05, ***p ≤ 0.01.
