  1. Note: The dependent variable is defined as the ratio of Mexicans to African-Americans in each occupation in year 2000 = (Number of Mexican workers in an occupation-industry/Number of Mexican workers)/(Number of native African-American workers in an occupation-industry/Number of native African-American workers). TASK_FITTED is the residuals of a TASK-wage regression. See text for more explanation
  2. Robust standard errors in parentheses, clustered at the state level. ***Significantly different from zero at 99 % confidence
