so, the real discovery here is, the danish job market is racist i mean, i'm all for open borders, but in an equal market, increasing the supply of labor will simply decrease each individual laborer's bargaining power. or maybe this is simply a side-effect of the relative poverty common to fresh immigrants
Racist? How so? Because the new immigrants, who are by definition not Danish, take the low wage, undesirable jobs? Don't you think that's just natural that new comers to an economy are going to start at the bottom for the most part? The US worked that way. Even white, Western European immigrants lived in tenements and did hard labor when they arrived here in the late 19th to early 20th century. I think the main thing that would make it racist is if the Danes actively tried to keep successive generations of immigrants from climbing the social ladder. That's where the US did well with some groups, and completely failed others.
