The foreign immigrants, who were Korean, Chinese, Argentine, Bolivian, Chilean, Paraguayan, Peruvian, and Uruguayan nationals, were compared to native Brazilians. The data came from the Brazilian National Census, 2000. The findings were: 1) immigrant status is associated with higher class position and income; 2) ethnic/national origin has an impact on the individual's position in the work market; 3) immigrants situation in the work market is heterogeneous; and iv) a situation of occupational and wage advantage does not mean that the individual does not suffer negative discrimination in the work market.
