Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation: 1. Many unskilled immigrants are willing to take jobs at lower pay in order to be employed, which undercuts labor hiring for native-born residents.
2. Newer immigrant families traditionally have as many members of the family employed as possible to contribute to the family income.
3. Immigrant groups are not perceived to be actively advocating minimum wage increases at this time.
4. Labor union membership has declined and current immigrant groups are not union advocates as they have been in the past.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Globalization has resulted in job loss in the United States, which has led to income inequality for some groups in the United States, increasing the potential for poverty.
2. Globalization has resulted in the outsourcing of many jobs formerly done in the United States, thus increasing unemployment for many minority groups.
3. Globalization has resulted in decreased membership in labor unions.
4. Globalization has not changed immigration patterns to the United States.
