The analysis is extended to consider several important factors which have previously been neglected--a more generalized approach to the job search process, the possibility of underemployment in the so-called urban "murky sector," preferential treatment by employers of the better educated, and consideration of labor turnover--and demonstrate that the resulting framework gives predictions closer to actual experience.

Estimating the number of unauthorized Mexicans by occupation, industry and class of worker, and comparing these distributions with the total labour force and with the other ethno-racial groups in Los Angeles County shows that amounts of human capital are positively related to the kinds of occupations filled.
